Inner Plea for Justification

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard lens, this line discloses that the true judge resides in the I AM within you, not in the voice speaking in outward pain. 'Do not condemn me' becomes a demand to release the habit of self-condemnation that arises whenever your circumstances seem to deny your desire. 'Show me wherefore thou contendest with me' is an invitation to observe the inner movements of your state of consciousness that make trouble appear real. Contention, in this reading, is simply a belief you are separate from your own fulfillment; the moment you acknowledge that you are the perceiver and the creator of the scene, you can choose a new end. The "God" who contends is your own assumption about lack; by turning to the I AM and revising that assumption, you align with the state of justice and providence where you are already approved. Imagination becomes the instrument of re-creation: you imagine the end as if it is done, feel its truth, and let the old verdict dissolve in the light of awareness. In that shift, the trial becomes a guide to greater consciousness, not a sentence to suffering.
