Neville Goddard on Jude 1:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jude 1 in context

Scripture Focus

12These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Jude 1:12-13

Biblical Context

Jude 1:12-13 portrays people at gatherings who are spiritually empty, likened to clouds without water, trees withered of fruit, and waves and stars that reveal shame. It warns against hypocrisy and the corruption that can masquerade as righteousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of these lines as a map of inner weather. Spots in your feasts of charity are judgmental postures wearing virtue while they feed on fear; clouds without water are the dry theories that rise on pride and evaporate under scrutiny of awareness. Trees withering, twice dead, indicate fixed identities you have believed about yourself—forms that claim life yet yield no fruit. Raging waves of the sea foam with shame, surfacing old guilts; wandering stars describe directions of the mind that never settle, leaving you in darkness. All these are images of consciousness that you have allowed to rule your experience when you forget that you are I AM. The remedy is to claim a new state of being: you are the awareness that nourishes and judges not, the source of living water. By assuming authentic charity, by revising your self-conception and feeling it real, you dissolve the droughts, still the storms, and set your inner lights to steady, everlasting glow.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling: I am the living water at my feast. Feel it real until the inner weather shifts from drought to flowing generosity.
