Read Judges 9 in context

Scripture Focus

24That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.

Judges 9:24

Biblical Context

The verse declares that the cruelty toward Jerubbaal's seventy sons will recoil on Abimelech and on those who aided him. It frames guilt as a public accounting for collective action.

Neville's Inner Vision

That verse speaks of a consequence visiting those who harmed others; in the Neville method, it is your inner state projected as outer events. The cruelty described is not 'out there' independent of you; it is the trace your consciousness leaves when you identify with separation. Abimelech and the men of Shechem stand for a mindset that believes it can harm and go unchallenged; yet your awareness—your I AM—must see through such separation. When you imagine yourself as the one who did the 'killing' or neglects the kin of Jerubbaal, you awaken a sense of guilt that clings to your memory image. The remedy is to revise that identity, to affirm that you are the I AM, the ruler of appearances, and that all creatures within you are images in the one mind. Forgive, release, and choose a state of justice that loves. As you inhabit a state of unconditional wholeness, the sense of retaliation dissolves, and you 'lay the blood' on a new scene: your inner peace, your right order of perception, and your compassionate action in the present.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the state of I AM as the sole reality; revise the memory by saying, 'I am the one within whom all events unfold justly.' Feel this truth by breathing it in for a few minutes until you sense unshakable wholeness.
