Neville Goddard on Luke 6:39-42 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 6 in context

Scripture Focus

39And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

40The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

41And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

42Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

Luke 6:39-42

Biblical Context

Luke 6:39-42 presents a warning: true guidance begins with self-examination; remove the beam in your own eye before you try to remove a mote in another, for discernment grows from inner awakening rather than judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

I read the parable as a map of consciousness. The blind leading the blind is not a geographical fate but a state of forgetfulness; when I am identified with judgment, I become blind to my own perfection and fall into the ditch of separation. The master is the awareness I AM here and now; to be perfect is to align with that master, so my sight is turned from fault-finding to a luminous clarity that serves. When I notice the mote in another, I am reminded to audit the beam within myself, not to condemn but to awaken. The beam and the mote are beliefs I have accepted about myself and others; removing the beam means revising those beliefs until my vision is clear enough to help others without pride. Dwelling in the assumption of wholeness, I discover that discernment arises not from criticising others but from the steady inner alignment with I AM. In this light, every difference becomes an invitation to my own awakening and to a love that heals rather than judges.
