Neville Goddard on Leviticus 19:11-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 19 in context

Scripture Focus

11Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

12And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

13Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

14Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

15Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

16Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.

17Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

18Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 19:11-18

Biblical Context

These verses command honest dealing, truthful speech, and fair treatment of others, forbidding stealing, lying, defrauding, and cursing. They culminate in loving your neighbor as yourself and judging with righteousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the I AM, this Levitical code is not external law but a map of your inner state. When you say I AM, you acknowledge that every outward transaction mirrors your inner trust in abundance, integrity, and oneness. To steal or lie is to harbor a hidden belief in limitation; to defraud or curse another is to suffer the separation you project. The command to act with truth in judgment and to rebuke without hatred reveals a discipline: you assert a higher standard in your own mind and let the outer world reflect that certainty. Your neighbor is not separate from you, but a mirror of your consciousness; when you love your neighbor as yourself, you choose a life lived from unity rather than scarcity. The life of wealth, justice, and peaceful relation flows from this inner alignment; your wages, your time, and your relief from blame are all found in the same I AM presence. The law is fulfilled not by ritual, but by the conviction that you are already this truth, here and now.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of perfect fair dealing in one real exchange today; revise any impulse to blame into blessing, and feel the unity that underlies every person.
