Inner Fire and Self-Accountability
Judges 9:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Abimelech and the men of Shechem exchange a mutual curse, signaling a cycle of destruction that mirrors their inner conflict. It shows that justice, when pursued as punishment, boomerangs back to the seeker.
Neville's Inner Vision
Judges 9:20 speaks in the language of your own consciousness. Abimelech and the men of Shechem are not persons out there, but opposing states within you—the claim and the resistance, the desire and the fear. The fire that is uttered from one side and devours the other is the inner consequence of a repeated thought, an imagination you nourish until it returns as law. When you declare, 'If not,' you are identifying with the surface occurrence rather than the timeless I AM that you are. But that I AM is creative; it answers every imprecation by revoking it in you, by transforming it into a harmony where no one is devoured. The mutual curses expose your belief in separation; the only justice you seek is the alignment of all parts of you within the unity of consciousness. So, treat this verse as a mirror: revise the inner verdict, feel it in your heart as already done, and watch the fire turn to light. In that shift, Abimelech and the house of Millo cease to threaten, and you live in a state where all is forgiven and one.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In the next moment, declare I AM the reconciliation of all inner parts. Revise the scene by feeling the unity of Abimelech and the house of Millo as one presence.
