Your Inner Decision Shapes Destiny

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard sense, this verse is not about a man escaping punishment but about the mind's creation of reality. The 'servant' represents scattered attention, the 'here and there' busyness that keeps consciousness split. The 'king' is the inner ruler—the I AM within you—who weighs what you have consciously assumed to be true. When the king declares, 'So shall thy judgment be,' the verse reveals that verdicts arise from your inner state, not from external decree. 'Thyself hast decided it' is a law of consciousness: you summon experience by the assumption you hold about yourself. If you remain distracted, outward appearances seem to judge you; if you take on a definite state, you embody that state in form. The Kingdom of God resides in your inner I AM, where you reign supreme through choice of state. The practical path is to revise your assumption and inhabit the feeling of the desired outcome until it becomes present in your life.
