Inner Righteousness and Wounded Judgment

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the scene is not a courtroom but a state of consciousness. 'I am righteous' is not a claim about facts, but a glow of awareness—the recognition that the I AM, your true self, stands as the judge and the judged within. When Job says 'God hath taken away my judgment,' he describes the moment the external verdict dissolves into inner knowing; the outer opinion is removed so the inward light can rest on its own right to be. The wound, speaking of suffering, points not to a crime but to a belief that pain proves something about you; 'without transgression' implies a belief you have fallen short. In Neville's reading, the whole drama reveals a single state: you are always whole in the I AM, and judgment is a motion of your own consciousness, not a decree from without. To heal the wound is to revise the premise: assume that the I AM has already vindicated you, that your right is intact, and that any appearance of lack dissolves as you dwell in awareness. The apparent contradiction resolves as you affirm your true nature.
