Inner Justice Through Imagination
James 5:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read James 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
James 5:4–6 exposes greed and fraud that oppress workers and condemn the just. The cries of the oppressed rise to the Lord of hosts.
Neville's Inner Vision
James does not speak of distant judges; he reveals a universal inner court. The laborers and their hired wages are not strangers in time but symbols of your own energy pressed into form by belief. The 'hire kept back by fraud' is the mind clinging to lack; the 'cries' are your inner alarms calling you to awaken to another possibility. The 'Lord of Sabaoth' is the inner Authority—your I AM awareness—that enforces harmony when you assent to it. To practice Neville’s method, revise the scene from lack to abundance within you. Assume that you are the source of all supply and that fairness, provision, and justice are already true in your inner state. Feel the reality of workers rightly compensated; sense the relief and dignity that comes with right relationship. When you hold this inner posture, you no longer condemn or strike against others in your imagination; you permit the justice you seek to inform your world. By dwelling in that upper room of consciousness, the outer conditions rearrange themselves to reflect your revised state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, take a breath, and assume the role of the inner Lord of hosts. Revise the scene by picturing the laborers paid in fullness and the just living in harmony, and feel that realization as now true.
