Self-Propelled Judgment Within
Habakkuk 1:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Habakkuk 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plain summary: The verse describes enemies as terrible and dreadful, with judgment and dignity arising from themselves. It hints that outer power reflects an inner state that can be revised by consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Habakkuk’s line, 'they' are not distant conquerors but inner dispositions clothed as enemies. Judgment and dignity are not handed down from without; they spring from the state of your awareness. When you align with the I AM—the stable sense of 'I am' that you are—external power loses its grip. The terrifying figures you call foes are the self-activations of fear and ego, moving of themselves as long as you entertain the picture. If you believe others pronounce your fate, you feed that belief; if you revise that inner picture to see you are the authority, the world shifts to reflect that revised state. The law here is simple: reality follows consciousness. By choosing a new feeling, a new assumption, you collapse the old judgment and replace it with a dignified presence that arises from within. The 'self-propelled' quality of their judgment and dignity becomes your own I AM-driven motion, propelling a fresh scenario into form. Thus you are not at the mercy of foes, but in command of the inner move that makes them appear.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, feel the I AM as your steady state. Then revise the verse in your mind to 'My judgment and dignity proceed from within me' and feel that truth as already done.
