Beast for Beast: Inner Restitution
Leviticus 24:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states a principle of restitution: harming a beast requires a like compensation. It frames justice as a balance that must be restored.
Neville's Inner Vision
That outer command is a mirror of an inner law: whenever you harm, you create a debt in the mind and must pay it back in consciousness. The act of killing a beast is not about animals but about your state of awareness. To give back 'beast for beast' is to reestablish harmony by aligning your current feeling with the image of wholeness you desire. The true 'beast' to be repaid is fear, anger, or lack of reverence; the remedy is not more external punishment, but a revision of your inner vision to reflect life as sacred. When you assume that order is restored, you acknowledge that you are the I AM, the source and measure of all that appears. In that assumption, external events begin to move in harmony with your new inner image, and the 'debt' dissolves as consciousness returns to balance. This is Neville's inner economics: by imagining restitution, you convert loss into life and prove that law follows consciousness, not the letter alone.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene. Imagine the balance restored—beast for beast—and feel the inner justice as already accomplished.
