The Samaritan Within: Compassion as State
Luke 10:33-35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A traveler is aided by a compassionate Samaritan who binds wounds, transports him to safety, and funds ongoing care.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider the Samaritan not as a distant tale but as a state of consciousness you awaken within. The 'he' who stops is the I AM alert to another aspect of yourself wounded by fear, limitation, or neglect. When you see him, compassion awakens as imagination in action: you pour in oil and wine—statements of truth that heal belief and awaken vitality. Binding wounds is the deliberate alignment of your inner signals with the truth of your God-given wholeness, and setting him on your own beast is choosing to move the healing through your life, carrying the wounded part toward a sanctuary of new conditions. The inn represents a renewed climate of thought—an inner hotel where transformation is hosted. The two pence and the host are your reservoir of resources and the promise you make: tend the wounded part and, if more is needed, I will repay you when I come again. The moral: mercy begins inside; when you act as the Samaritan in your inner dialogue, you unlock a reciprocal flow of support and abundance in your outer world.
Practice This Now
Assume the role of the Samaritan now; feel compassionate toward a part of you that is hurting. Imagine pouring healing oil and wine into its wounds and funding its recovery, and declare, inwardly, that you will provide what is needed until wholeness returns.
