No Stone Cast Within
John 8:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The accusers press for judgment, but Jesus exposes that none among them is free of sin; mercy and self-examination take precedence over punishment.
Neville's Inner Vision
On the level of consciousness, the crowd is a chorus of self-judgments projecting onto a scene. The command, 'without sin,' is not a moral tally but a state of awareness: when you identify with your sinlessness, the impulse to condemn dissolves and the stones of judgment fall away. The act of writing on the ground is a symbol—an inner re-writing of the script so mercy can stand where blame stood. You do not change others by force; you awaken by shifting your own perception. When I, as the speaker within, assume the consciousness that forgives, the entire scene shifts: condemnation collapses into compassion, and what remains is a quiet certainty that your inner state governs every outward encounter. The power you seek is already within; simply decide to see as God sees, and the stones you cast in the dream of separation crumble into peace.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, revise the scene: imagine you, as the I AM within, see everyone as sinless; forgive in your heart and feel the inner stones melt.
