Inner Law of Loving Neighbor

Leviticus 19:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 19 in context

Scripture Focus

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 19:17-18

Biblical Context

Do not hate your brother in your heart; you may correct him when needed, but do not harbor resentment. Do not seek vengeance or bear grudges; love your neighbor as yourself, for I am the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses reveal the inner law of your heart. Hatred in the heart is a projection of a separated state; to rebuke another is to correct your own thought, a disciplined adjustment of belief, not a punitive strike. The ban on revenge or grudges trains the mind to be free of lingering grievance, so the past no longer governs you. When you love your neighbor as yourself, you affirm unity: the same I AM animates both you and the other; there is only one life, one awareness in expression. The LORD declares this as the inner law of your consciousness, not a distant decree. By imagining, by feeling and assuming the truth of oneness, you reorder your inner world and, consequently, your outer circumstances. You are shaping your life by inner posture rather than outer conflict. The neighbor becomes a mirror of your own divinity, and love becomes the natural state you inhabit.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that you and your neighbor are one in the I AM. When irritation arises, revise the thought by affirming, 'We are one mind and one heart, united in God.'
