Judah's Inner Judgment Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM lens, this brief narrative is not about genealogies but about states of consciousness. Judah’s act of providing a wife for Er is a projection of a ruling self—the part of you that appoints roles to your outer life. Er's wickedness is the inner disposition that refuses alignment with God's order; God's striking of Er reveals that a state cannot endure when it blocks divine life. In Neville's psychology, God is the I AM awareness that discerns and purges what diminishes life; the inner court judges and dispatches the old condition, clearing space for a higher order to emerge. Tamar stands as the creative feminine principle that births a new order when the old state dies. Thus the verse teaches that judgment and holiness begin inside; covenant loyalty becomes present as you refuse to let a counterfeit self rule your life. By recognizing the inner state at fault and surrendering it to the I AM, you invite a fresh alignment with divine life.
