Inner Justice Beyond the Crowd

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the crowd you fear is not people but a condition of mind—the habit of leaning with the many, the urge to please the outer court. The I AM within you stands untouched by direction from without; it is the sovereign who judges with truth. Exodus 23:2–3 teaches that you do not bend to popular demand, nor do you favor the poor by sentiment alone, but render a judgment that is in alignment with the eternal order you inwardly know. When you sense pressure to join the multitude, withdraw your attention from the external scene and return to your inner witness. In that quiet, repeat the assumption: I am the I AM aware, and as such I counsel myself toward justice without prejudice. See the scene of yourself making a decision, the crowd fading as you acknowledge the one perfect standard within. Feel the reality of fair-mindedness arising from the I AM, not from circumstance. By living from that inner state, you imprint your world with justice that cannot be wrested by men, talk, or time.
