Inner Restitution Manifested
Leviticus 6:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
If a person swears falsely, the verse commands restoring the principal and adding a fifth, turning it over to the one it concerns on the day of the trespass offering. This is presented as a concrete act of restitution and spiritual atonement.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed inwardly, the law becomes a map of how consciousness must correct its misstatements. 'Swearing falsely' is not only a spoken lie but a misalignment in your inner state where you value appearances over truth. To restore is to return the inner thing to its rightful owner in imagination—get the principal energy back into harmony, and add a fifth as a fresh moment of redress. The 'day of the trespass offering' signals the moment you acknowledge the breach and make a conscious offering to your divine I AM. When you imagine returning what was taken and paying the extra, you are not changing the outer world so much as reordering your inner sense of justice—there is no guilt, only correction and alignment with your true self. Your 'righteousness and justice' are built by the consistency of your inner assumption. In this sense, forgiveness and reconciliation are not future events but present states you choose by a revised scenario in which you are already whole.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, in imagination, notice a belief or statement you have 'sworn' that harmed another. Restore the principal energy by returning it to its rightful owner in your inner scene, then add one-fifth as a reinvestment in truth, and feel, 'I AM restored and at-one with all.'
