Jude 1:15

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of a universal judgment that will convict the ungodly of their deeds and words. It reveals a reckoning that occurs through a higher consciousness, not through external punishment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judgment, as Jude 1:15 declares, will sweep through the entire scene, but in the Neville view it is the cleansing fire of awareness, not a punitive decree from outside. The 'all' to be judged are not strangers, but states of consciousness—the belief in separation, fear, judgment, and hardness of heart. The ungodly deeds and hard speeches you believe inhabit the world are the echoes of those inner conditions. When you awaken to I AM—the indivisible awareness that you are—the inner judge takes its seat within your own mind and you discern the false from the true. The world you call 'out there' adjusts to your inner discipline; as you revise your sense of self to one with God, you no longer convince others of guilt—you convince yourself that guilt no longer serves you. Thus the imagined sentence gently dissolves into understanding, forgiveness, and unity. The moment you feel the truth that you are the one who stands as the light, judgment is fulfilled in you and the outer scene rearranges to reflect that inner state.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is the screen on which all events appear; revise a recent judgment by affirming, 'I see only the divine in them and in me.' Feel the inner shift as condemnation fades and unity arises.
