Debt Prison of the Mind
Matthew 18:30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A creditor refuses mercy and imprisons the debtor until the debt is paid.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard sense, the debt is not a monetary obligation but a cliff of unresolved judgment within your own consciousness. The one who imprisons represents a fixed state of mind—an assumption that you are separate from abundance and from mercy—that you must exact payment before you can experience peace. To interpret this, notice that every act of punishment in the outer scene mirrors an inner act of withholding love from yourself or others. Release comes not by coercion but by the acceptance that you are the I AM, that all debts are dissolved in awareness, and that forgiveness is your natural state. When you revise the scene in imagination, choosing to see the debtor as already free in your awareness, you dissolve the prison walls. Your mind stops feeding the belief in lack and moves into wholeness; you become the one who pays no debt, for you are unconditional love and endless awareness.
Practice This Now
Assume the end: I am free now; see the debtor as already forgiven in my awareness. Feel the release as real.
