The Solitary Judge Reimagined
Exodus 18:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Moses sits to judge the people from morning to evening, and the people stand by. Jethro questions why he sits alone and why all the people stand by him.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of this scene as a map of your inner state. Moses is not a man distant in history but a state of consciousness in you that takes on the burden of decision. The long hours of judgment represent continuous attention you apply to every thought, every demand of the outer world. When Jethro asks why you sit alone, he is the voice of your awareness that recognizes you have made your state solitary by assuming you alone must bear all responsibility. The truth your inner adviser reveals is that the I AM—your awareness—never stands apart from the many; it manifests through the cooperation and delegation of your imagined deputies, your inner counselors. By appointing others to assist you, you are not diminishing the I AM but expressing it more fully. The moment you revise this scene in imagination, you release the burden, and the crowd’s restless energy becomes the chorus of your effective leadership. The kingdom you seek is the alignment of your inner moves with a wiser, shared administration.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is present and invite an imagined council to aid you. See yourself appointing deputies, feel the relief of shared labor, and let the inner crowd quiet as your wiser administration takes seat.
