Neville Goddard on Luke 16:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 16 in context

Scripture Focus

5So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

6And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

7Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

Luke 16:5-7

Biblical Context

Jesus shows a steward calling each debtor and inscribing smaller sums on their bills. The scene reads as an inner revision, where debt and mercy point to how our states of consciousness can be re-scripted.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 16:5-7 invites us to read the scene as an inner negotiation in the house of consciousness. The steward asks, 'How much owest thou unto my lord?' and then writes new sums, not to cheat a master, but to reveal who governs the mind. In this reading, the Debtor is a state of lack within you, and the Lord is your higher I AM. The act of writing 'fifty' and 'eighty' is your act of revising the inner contract you have accepted about abundance. When you decide in imagination what you owe and casually rewrite the bill, you are practicing the art of feeling-it-real: you shift your inner state, and the world follows. The Master's approval mirrors the moment you realize you can alter the script you live by. Mercy and discernment guide the revision, keeping it aligned with wise stewardship. So the present lack dissolves as your awareness reclaims dominion, and provision follows from the new state you have assumed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and see your inner ledger; state 'I AM the Lord of this balance' and write a new figure, for example, reduce a debt or set it to zero. Then feel the relief as you embody the revised balance and begin living from it today.
