Neville Goddard on Luke 6:27-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 6 in context

Scripture Focus

27But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

28Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

29And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

30Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

Luke 6:27-31

Biblical Context

Luke 6:27–31 calls you to love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and give generously. It asks you to treat others as you would wish to be treated.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your enemies are not out there to oppress you; they are signals from your own state of consciousness asking to be healed. In the I AM you are, every seeming adversary is a facet of your inner being demanding attention and a transformation of how you feel. When you hear 'love your enemies,' do not seek to change the person but to revise the state you inhabit about them. Begin with the assumption that harmony already exists in you as awareness. See hate as a mistaken interpretation that can be corrected by the feeling that you and the other are one. Do good to them, bless them, and pray for them as acts of self-purification, not concessions to others. By offering your cheek or your coat in imagination, you affirm the abundance of your inner Kingdom and demonstrate that your life responds from your I AM. Persist in this practice, and external conditions align with the truth of unity you have assumed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, imagine the person who upsets you as a living reflection of your own I AM; affirm, 'I love you,' and bless them until that feeling of unity arises. Then, revise the scenario by freely giving or helping them in your inner scene, feeling it real as if it already occurred.
