Inner Redemption of Brethren
Nehemiah 5:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nehemiah proclaims that they have redeemed their brethren from the heathen, and he asks whether anyone would sell them again. The others fall silent, unable to answer.
Neville's Inner Vision
Where you hear the line that we after our ability have redeemed, hear the inner I AM standing behind every claim. This is not a transaction of coins but a shifting of consciousness: the brethren are not afar but within your own sense of self, and redeemed means you revise a belief that binds them to lack. The heathen are the old story of limitation within you; to sell your brethren is to yield to fear, to deny the wholeness of another aspect of your being. When Nehemiah says they held their peace, the inner man recognizes his own authority to stop repetition of separation. In Neville’s terms, the redemption is an act of imagination that precedes outward action; you must imagine the whole, feel the state of non-separation, and your world follows. Deliverance and justice begin as inner alignment: you choose to treat every part of your awareness as beloved and equal. The line invites you to live as liberator in your own life by refusing to entertain any thought that divides or devalues another.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the state that all beings are already redeemed; revise any belief of separation and feel the liberty as real in your own consciousness.
