Inner Judgment of Favoritism

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the 'secretly accepting persons' is a metaphor for how you secretly prefer one state of mind over another, one person over another, within the courtroom of your own consciousness. The reproach he speaks of is the consciousness correcting itself when it discovers bias hidden in the heart. The line about excellency and dread is the moment your sense of separation—your belief that some opinions or favors outweigh others—becomes an inner fear of punishment from a Higher Self. But there is no external judge; the only judge is your I AM, the awareness that never changes. When you assume a state where you are perfectly fair, generous, and sees all as equally real in you, you dissolve that fear. Your life will reflect your inner state, and the 'reproof' you feared previously becomes a gentle correction that returns you to your original, undivided self. So, live from the conviction: I am the I AM, I judge nothing, I include all as equal expressions of God.
