Inner Judgment: The Ready I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture this: the judge is not a far-off deity on some throne, but your own I AM, the awareness that you are imagining. 'He is ready to judge the quick and the dead' means every thought that arises—living or dormant—will be weighed in that inner court. The 'quick' are the awake, living states you are now projecting into your world; the 'dead' are the abandoned scripts you once believed and that no longer serve you. When you understand that you are the judge, you take responsibility for every image you have entertained. The verdict is not punishment but alignment: as you revise and replace old scenes with the feeling of your wish fulfilled, you move your entire consciousness toward truth. The act of judging becomes an act of loving discernment, a choosing of states in your awareness that express your desired life. The verse invites you to stand in the confidence that your inner state precedes outer change; your account is settled in imagination.
