Inner Covenant of Luke 16:18
Luke 16:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that leaving a spouse and marrying another is adultery, and likewise those who marry someone already married are committing adultery. It emphasizes the seriousness of fidelity to the covenant.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, Luke 16:18 reveals that the 'adultery' spoken of is not a crime against a spouse but a betrayal of one's unity with the I AM. To 'put away' and to 'marry another' are inner movements—releasing one state of consciousness and clinging to another—as if consciousness could be split into rival loyalties. The so-called law is a mirror of your own inner life, reminding you that loyalty to more than one state creates division and distraction. Covenant loyalty, then, is a commitment to the one I AM that governs all images and events. When you imagine yourself as two selves, you experience the sense of separation that law dramatizes; when you revise toward a single, integrated identity, the outer world follows the inward harmony. The message is not restriction but clarity: unity of consciousness yields unity of relations, and the so-called commandments are invitations to keep your mind faithful to the truth that you are, and always were, the one creator of your experience. By aligning with this wholeness, your life becomes a glowing symbol of inner covenant in action.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the feeling, 'I am the I AM, united in one state of consciousness.' Rest in that unity until it feels real, then notice the outer world aligning.
