Inner Judgment, Silent Righteousness
Ecclesiastes 3:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Under the sun, the place of judgment is wicked. The place of righteousness harbors iniquity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Under the sun refers to your outer world, yet in Neville's view the outer is inseparable from the inner. The 'place of judgment' that bears wickedness reveals a state of awareness using punishment and control to “fix” others, projecting fear into discernment. The 'place of righteousness' containing iniquity shows that even your highest moral aims can be tinted by a hidden fear of the unknown, a self-image that desires perfection while resisting true surrender. These appearances signal a single inner weather system: your consciousness is the creator, and split states yield fragmented, painful scenes. The cure is to refuse the split and assume the I AM as the unified observer within, the awareness that orders, justifies, and loves without ceasing. Rehearse the feeling of wholeness until it swells into your outer perceptions, allowing contradictions to dissolve. When you dwell in that revised state, judgments become expressions of compassionate discernment, not verdicts born of fear; the apparent opposition between judgment and righteousness reveals itself as a mere dance of consciousness, ready to be harmonized by the one life within you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM within as the sole observer; feel a unified, just awareness filling your being. Carry that revised state into waking life and watch judgments soften as harmony replaces feared separation.
