Compassion as Inner Rescue
Jude 1:22-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jude 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jude contrasts mercy that makes a difference with fear-based rescue. It speaks of helping others and pulling them from danger, while warning against hardened judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
See this not as a distant exhortation but as a map of your inner states. 'Compassion, making a difference' is simply you occupying the state of mercy, aware of the others as already whole in your mind. When you 'save with fear,' you project danger and separation, which only reinforces their struggle. The 'fire' is inner conviction burning away what is not true; your role is not to force but to hold a steady conscious atmosphere in which healing can occur. The 'garment spotted by the flesh' points to outward forms and fears; you treat them with detachment, not disdain, because appearances do not define the soul. The inner practice is to dwell in mercy as your permanent state—knowing that you are the I AM that perceives; through your imagination, others become aware of their safety. Thus, the act of saving is an act of consciousness, not a deed performed by effort. When you assume mercy as your reality, you align your entire seeing with wholeness, and the world must reflect this renewed state.
Practice This Now
Choose one person in need of help. Imagine you already hold the mercy that saves them; feel the truth of their safety as your own state, and quietly dwell in that feeling for a few minutes.
