7th commandment
Under Neville Goddard’s lens, the seventh commandment — “Thou shalt not commit adultery” — is not about physical cheating, it’s about mental and emotional inconsistency. Adultery, in this context, means being unfaithful to the state you say you want to live in.
If you decide “I am loved, chosen, secure” but you keep reacting, thinking, and feeling from rejection, abandonment, or doubt, you are splitting your state. You are trying to be two versions of yourself at once — the one who has it, and the one who doesn’t. That inner contradiction is what keeps your reality unstable.
Your subconscious doesn’t respond to what you want occasionally, it responds to what you consistently identify with. So if your inner dialogue keeps going from “it’s done” to “what if it doesn’t happen,” the dominant state is still the old one. That’s what Neville refers to as being unfaithful — not staying loyal to your chosen identity.
Being faithful isn’t about forcing positivity, it’s about returning to the same version of yourself until it feels natural. When the 3D shows the opposite, you don’t switch states. When doubt appears, you don’t build a story around it. You bring yourself back to “I already am that.”
You cannot serve two states at once. You can’t feel secure and entertain insecurity as truth. One has to become dominant.
So the real meaning of this commandment is simple: choose the version of yourself who already has what you desire, and stop mentally going back to the old one. Consistency in identity is what changes your reality.
