Inner Judgment Reversal in Isaiah

Neville's Inner Vision

Under the Neville lens, the terrible one, the scorner, and the watch for iniquity are not external foes but inner states of consciousness. When you imagine a power outside yourself ruling the gate of your mind, you remain asleep to your own I AM. The verse tells you such energies are brought to nought when you awaken to the truth that you are the perceiver, not the judged. The 'offender for a word' is the habit of punishing yourself or another for a thought or utterance; it is projection, a snare you lay in the mind’s gate. Reprove in the gate means you call forth remedies from your own inner court, not from judgment of others. To turn aside the just for a thing of nought is to measure reality by trifles, losing sight of the divine presence within. Your imagination is the judge; it can dissolve these snares by recognizing that God—the I AM—is the steady, uncondemning witness in you. When you stand in that awareness, the terrible one dissolves, the scorner vanishes, and justice without condition follows.
