Inner Law, Outer Display
Galatians 6:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Galatians 6 in context

Biblical Context
Galatians 6:13 reveals the hypocrisy of those who push circumcision while not keeping the law themselves, aiming to glory in the flesh.
Neville's Inner Vision
Remember, the law is not a ledger of external deeds but the inner state you inhabit as awareness. Those who boast in circumcision reveal a mind attached to appearances, seeking glory in the flesh because their sense of worth is fed by outer signs. The truth is no one keeps the law by outward rites; the only keeping is awakening to the living I AM within, where your covenant already stands. When you catch yourself imagining others judging you by ritual, you are not different from them: you are dreaming of approval through appearances. The remedy is not to rebuke them but to shift your identification: you are the I AM, the consciousness that does not need a mark to prove its wholeness. Practice aligning with that inner reality until fidelity becomes felt as your natural state—faith flowing from knowing you are already kept in love. As you dwell there, the impulse to display or to fix others dissolves, and true obedience becomes a quiet, radiant certainty.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and repeat, I am the I AM; I have nothing to prove by rites. Imagine a quiet scene where you are surrounded by love and acceptance simply because you exist as awareness.
