Burdens Of The Law Within
Luke 11:45-46 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A lawyer objects to Jesus' critique, and Jesus rebukes him for piling heavy burdens on others. The burden is shown as an inner dynamic—critique and control—rather than a mere external command.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the woe pronounced on the lawyers as a mirror of your own inner judgments. The 'burdens' they lay on others are simply the mental laws you still believe must be followed to prove worth. In your inner world, conditions, rules, and obligations are imagined as external to you; yet you are the I AM, the living law that liberates. When you identify with judgment, you become the one who piles tasks on others, while your own finger remains idle - your awareness is asleep to its power. The remedy is to reverse: acknowledge that the true law is within, and that God, your I AM, is already lifting every weight by perceiving rightly. By assuming the state of freedom, you revise the entire scene: you see all beings as already intact, and you feel the burden dissolve as you claim your wholeness. When you rest in this consciousness, the external burdens lose their force, and the inner movement toward justice becomes effortless and luminous.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the state 'I AM free; burdens are dissolved within my awareness.' Feel the weight lift as you envision the load on others dissolving and your inner liberty becoming real.
