Neville Goddard on Luke 6:41-42 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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 6:41-42

Biblical Context

Jesus asks why you notice the speck in your brother’s eye while missing the beam in your own. The call is to remove your own judgment first, then you’ll see clearly to help others.

Neville's Inner Vision

Pause and behold the scene as a mirror of your inner life. The mote in your brother’s eye is not an offense in another; it’s a belief you project from a small part of your own mind. The beam you perceive is the weight of self-judgment you carry, a thick conviction about who you are and what you must be. You are not separate from the one you judge, for the I AM within you is the same I AM within your brother. To heal the world you must heal the inner world; to cast out the mote you must cast out the beam. The act of seeing clearly comes after you revise the thought that you are defined by fault; when you abandon that thought, your inner sight is purified and you dissolve the distance between you and the other. Practice is to assume you have already transcended judgment, to feel that freedom drop into your chest, and to let the sensation of unity reshape your perception until what you see is a reflection of your own being.

Practice This Now

Impose a 60-second practice: silently declare 'I cast out the beam from my own eye; I am whole, I see clearly.' Then apply that perception to a real or imagined person in your life.
