Righteous Judgment Within
John 7:24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It tells you not to judge by outward appearance but to judge with righteous discernment arising from your inner awareness. Appearances reflect inner states; true seeing begins in the I AM within.
Neville's Inner Vision
John 7:24 calls us to stop judging by the eye that takes measure by surface and rumor. You are not a spectator of the world; you are the I AM that gives form to it. When you 'judge according to the appearance,' you are merely identifying with a transient state of consciousness and binding yourself to its limited interpretation. The remedy is not to resist the world but to reidentify with the deeper self that knows the truth behind every scene. See that the events you call others’ faults or misfortunes are mirrors of your own habitable beliefs; by choosing to 'judge righteous judgment,' you lift your mind into a state where discernment arises from love and clarity, not from fear or pride. Practice shifting your awareness from appearances to the inner premise that you are always the authority of the scene; then responses become precise, compassionate, and truthful, for you are aligning with the I AM that creates all texture of life.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of 'I AM the Righteous Judge, discerning rightly from within' for a minute, then observe how you reinterpret a recent appearance you judged harshly. Close your eyes and feel that you are the inner observer, not the outer judgment.
