Love as Inner Commandments

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, the 'heart, soul, and mind' are states of consciousness. To love God is to dwell in the awareness I AM, where God is within and without as one light. When you maintain that inner love toward the Lord, you automatically extend it to the neighbor, for neighbor is the reflection of your own self. Thus the two commandments become a single inner disposition: live from a consciousness of unity rather than separation. The law and the prophets hang on this inner state; when your inner atmosphere is saturated with love, your world mirrors that reality—obstacles soften, opportunities appear, and people respond as echoes of your inner love. Obedience becomes the practice of imagining from the end, feeling the wish fulfilled as present fact. You are not changing God or others; you are changing the state you inhabit, and that is how the scriptural promise unfolds.
