Waves of Inner Darkness
Jude 1:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jude 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse uses sea-storm imagery to reveal unstable thoughts. It also points to wandering stars, symbols of unrooted beliefs, with darkness as their consequence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your inner world, raging waves are not external tempests but restless states of consciousness that foam with their own shame. The 'blackness of darkness' is not punishment from without; it is the isolation that follows when your attention forgets the I AM—your permanent awareness. The wandering stars are your shifting beliefs, the many small identities you adopt while thinking you are separate from life. They drift in the heavens of your mind until they fall into darkness by habit, not by decree. When you remember you are the observer who remains awake, you begin to revise the scene. Waves become currents of feeling you can watch and redirect; wandering stars settle into a single, steady point of attention—the eternal I AM shining in you. The presence of God is not distant; it is the immediate awareness that witnesses, rearranges, and transcends storms. In that recognition, judgment dissolves and exile becomes a return: you are back where you belong, within the light that you are.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you are the I AM observing the waves; revise the scene by declaring, 'I am awareness, and this storm is a movement within me, not me.' Feel it-real by closing your eyes, breathing into that awareness, and letting the waves subside in your calm attention.
