Neville Goddard on Galatians 6:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Galatians 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

2Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

3For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

5For every man shall bear his own burden.

6Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

Galatians 6:1-6

Biblical Context

Paul speaks to the community, urging gentle restoration when someone falters. He also calls for mutual support, humility, and personal responsibility in a spirit of shared growth.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the landscape of Neville's inner vision, 'brethren' are the states of consciousness that inhabit your mind. When a fault overtakes a portion of that mind, you are not condemned but invited to restore the displaced state in the spirit of meekness—operating from the assumption that you are already the I AM, the aware, unbroken self. To bear one another's burdens is your practice of alignment: you do not judge the burden as 'out there'; you meet it as a softened, transformed feeling within you, and you refuse to inflame it with fear or superiority. If you think yourself something, you deceive yourself; remain in the awareness that you are learning, proving your own work in the flame of self-honesty and reliance on the divine I AM. Each true act of inner restoration reveals that you are not two beings but one living state, rejoicing in its own unity. The instruction to teach and to share is the invitation to pour your inner riches into the world of ideas, so that all aspects of your self partake in the same light.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of I AM; picture a fault as a cloud within and revise it by declaring, 'I am restoration; I am meekness.' Then imagine bearing the burden with ease and see it lightened as you align with the I AM, offering that inner support to the other parts of your mind.
