Inner Duty and Judgment

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a state of consciousness exercise, the conclusion tells you that God is not a distant judge but the I AM within you. Fear is not fear of punishment but reverence for the living presence you are when you are fully aware. Keeping the commandments becomes the natural behavior of the I AM, the consistent alignment of your inner man with the divine order. The phrase God shall bring every work into judgment speaks not of threats from without but of the inner throughput of your awareness; every thought, motive, or secret belief is weighed by the light you shine upon it. As you dwell in the I AM and assume the reality of its law, you stop projecting external consequences and begin allowing your life to be rearranged by a skillful, benevolent force within. This is the practical instruction: live from the state of obedience to your highest self, and your outer world follows. The inner watchman of your consciousness exposes the hidden beliefs, inviting revision. The whole duty is simply the ongoing practice of remaining aware of the I AM, and letting imagination mold every experience to that truth.
