Neville Goddard on Matthew 7:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 7 in context

Scripture Focus

3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Matthew 7:3-4

Biblical Context

Jesus asks why you notice the mote in your brother’s eye while not noticing the beam in your own. The message is humility and inner transformation, not external correction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the mote you discern in another is but the beam of your own unawakened sight. In this scene, the other is not separate; the eye that judges is a mirror of your inner state. When you try to pull the mote from another, you are not healing but clutching a worn image you still believe about yourself. The solution is to turn attention inward, to the I AM That I Am within you, and revise the inner image until forgiveness and quiet love fill the field. By assuming a state of humility, you dissolve the beam; the world bends to your new consciousness, and the need to fix others falls away. Imagination creates reality; see yourself as unblemished by judgment and perceive the other as an expression of your own awakening. Do the inner work now, and the outer conversation will reflect your inner disposition with gentleness and truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise: imagine the I AM looking through your eye, dissolving the beam. Affirm, I am free from judgment; I see my neighbor with mercy.
