Inner Commandments Revealed
Luke 18:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 18:20 presents a concise list of core commandments: do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, and honor your father and mother. It points to obedience to these laws as the standard of righteous living.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the commandments not as external rules but as inner states of consciousness you awaken within. When you declare, 'I AM the one who does not lie, who honors mother and father, who lives without harm,' you are not awaiting some distant achievement; you are assuming the already-real condition of your true self. The outer world then mirrors this inner alignment, as your awareness settles into that truth and your thoughts, feelings, and actions begin to flow from it. The sins—adultery, killing, stealing—represent inner impulses of uncontrolled desire or fear; governing them is mastery of your inner landscape, not judgment of others. Practice by dwelling in the sensation of the fulfilled law, trusting your imagination to rewrite circumstances until your life reflects that inner statute. See yourself as the I AM who keeps these laws now and let the rest fall into alignment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Enter into the state that already keeps these commandments—see yourself speaking truth, honoring parents, and living without harm in the present. Feel the quiet certainty of that inner law as your daily reality.
