Inner Love Without Pretence
Romans 12:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Romans 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Love must be genuine. It rejects pretense, detests evil, and clings to what is good.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the verse as a declaration of your inner state. Love is not a social pose but a vivid reality in consciousness. Dissimulation is a cancellation of inner truth; when you pretend, you scatter your power. The I AM, your true self, perceives only what you choose to entertain. To abhor that which is evil is to withdraw identification from harmful thoughts and actions inside your own being; to cleave to that which is good is to dwell in the imaginative state of harmonious living. By treating love as undivided—no pretense, no self-protection—you align with the supreme reality that you are the author of your world. Your inner feeling of integrity becomes the rope by which you pull your circumstances into alignment with conscience. The more you imagine yourself living from truth and benevolence, the more your external relations reflect that authenticity. This is not morality by coercion but an inner conviction: love is your natural state, and good is your natural movement. When you persist in this inner standard, you awaken to a life where sincerity and discernment bloom as the evidence of spirit.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of undissembled love toward a real person or situation. Hold that sensation for a minute, then re-enter the day with that truth guiding your judgments and choices.
