Inner Freedom in John 8

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, bondage is not a chain about your wrists but a belief-state, a pronounced sense of separation from the I AM. When they say they are Abraham's seed, they are identifying with memory, lineage, or social identity. Jesus reframes the issue: sin is a servant-mentality—an habitual feeling that you are ruled by appetite, fear, or guilt. The Son represents the interior, unending life that dwells in the house forever; to dwell in that house is to be free from the fear of being always bound. If the Son makes you free, you are free indeed, meaning the moment you align with the Son within, the sense of bondage dissolves. You are not liberated by external events but by a shift in consciousness: the awareness that you are the I AM, the interior Father-Mother of all movement. Your task is to assume and dwell in that state, not resist the external appearances.
