The Pure Eye Within

Habakkuk 1:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Habakkuk 1 in context

Scripture Focus

13Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
Habakkuk 1:13

Biblical Context

God is described as pure and unable to behold evil; yet the verse questions why He looks on treachery and remains silent as the wicked devour the righteous. In Neville's view, this reveals that outer events reflect inner states, and purification of perception is the path to true justice.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the mind that reads this verse I say, the pure eyes speak of your state of consciousness. God, the I AM you call by many names, cannot behold evil because you are the light that reveals only what your level of awareness allows. When you see treachery and the world seems to devour the righteous, you are not witnessing external judgment but the outcome of a suspended inner perception. Neville would have you understand that the appearance of injustice arises from a belief in separation and consequence as facts. The remedy is to revise the inner state until the observer is pure and harmless, a perfect eye that does not condemn. Assume that you are the I AM who cannot look on iniquity and feel its truth as your immediate reality. In that assumption, the scene begins to rewrite itself, as if the wicked acts were only reflections in a mind that has awakened to its own purity. As you dwell in this felt sense of unity, the impression of oppression fades and a new harmony answers from within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you are the pure eye that looks without condemnation. Revise a recent scene of injustice by affirming that in this I AM all beings are seen as harmonious and the problem dissolves.
