Inner Turn the Other Cheek Practice

Matthew 5:38-42 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 5 in context

Scripture Focus

38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Matthew 5:38-42

Biblical Context

Jesus reframes retaliation as a call to respond from inner abundance. Do not retaliate; give generously and go beyond what is asked.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within you, this teaching is not a weakness; it is a reengineering of your inner state. The old law of eye for eye keeps you bound to grievance by affirming a separate self that is harmed. When you resist not evil, you refuse to participate in that old scene and instead align with life’s unity. See the other as a projection of your own consciousness and revise the scene from inside. If someone tests your security, move into mercy and choose to render more than is demanded. If asked for your coat, imagine giving both coat and cloak as a sign that you live in abundance. When asked to go a mile, gladly go two, not to prove virtue but to shift your spiritual position. Dwelling in the feeling of the wish fulfilled—I AM the source, I AM unbound—causes the outer world to mirror your inner generosity. Mercy becomes your operating system; generosity, your natural state, and forgiveness your daily currency.

Practice This Now

Practice: when you feel wronged today, close your eyes, breathe, and imagine the other as your own I AM. See yourself handing over the coat and walking the extra mile in your mind, until that sense of abundance becomes your immediate experience.
