Inner Mercy Over Debt
Matthew 18:28-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The first servant roughs up a fellow servant who owes him money, refusing to show mercy when begged for time, and throws him in prison until the debt is paid.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how the scene is not about coins but states of consciousness. The hundred pence represents a petty claim of separation—the sense that you owe something to a world you perceive as outside you. When the kingly I AM acts as the harsh self, it seals the other in a prison of grievance by refusing time and relief. Yet the other, who begs for patience, is your inner petition for realization. The true reality is that you, the I AM, can suspend the claim and release the debt by blessing the other as you would bless a part of yourself. When you choose mercy over judgment, you are not denying justice but returning to unity; the prison dissolves as your awareness expands. The miracle is that forgiveness redefines relation; by feeling one with the other, the entire scene is rewritten. The moment you conceive a revised state where debt is canceled and compassion flows, you awaken to the abundance and grace of your own consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, revise the scene in your mind; see the debtor as a part of yourself, forgive him, and feel the debt dissolve. Say silently, I release this debt and I am one with all, allowing mercy to expand through you.
