Freedom Beyond Judgment
Colossians 2:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Colossians 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Colossians 2:16 tells you not to let others judge your meals, drinks, or sacred times; true liberty arises from your inner state, not external observances.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the inner listener, the command not to be judged becomes a summons to guard your inner atmosphere. The outward rules—meat, drink, holy days, new moons, sabbath days—are not laws shaping God, but reflections of the state of consciousness that sits in the throne of I AM. If you interpret yourself by such measures, you concede that your reality is defined by another's eye; but in the Goddard 'I am' perspective, you are the ruler of your inner kingdom. Your awareness fashions the scene you call life, and everyone else’s opinion is a mirror held up to their own inner weather. Therefore, refuse to concede your sovereignty to the clock, the festival, or the plate. Sit quietly with the awareness that you are already free, that your choices do not define your worth, and that the law you live by is the living presence of I AM in you. Practically, revision and imagination are your tools; the moment you feel yourself unjudged, you align with the reality you seek.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of being unjudged now. Close your eyes, revisit a scene where someone judges your observances, and revise it by seeing yourself free, at peace, governed by the I AM within.
