Inner Golden Rule Practice
Matthew 7:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It states that you should treat others as you would want to be treated, and that this reciprocity sums up the essence of the law and the prophets.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this inner reading, Matthew 7:12 reveals that your life is a reflection of your inner state. The God within you—the I AM awareness—acts as a magnet, drawing people and events that mirror the quality you assume to be true. When you desire kindness, you must imagine kindness as already real within you and act from that sense. The law and the prophets become simply a practice: treat others as you would treat yourself, not as a command from without, but as a declaration of the state you inhabit. By deliberately choosing a generous feeling and imagining the other as already blessed, you shift life into harmony with your inner scene. The outer world then mirrors your assumption rather than judges your deeds; your thoughts and feelings draft the day you live.
Practice This Now
Choose one person and, in a quiet moment, assume you have already treated them as you wish to be treated; feel that kindness now, and let the action flow from that state.
