Inner Judgment Judges 9:56-57

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a drama of inner states, not distant history. In Neville’s voice, ‘God’ is the I AM you are, and the judgments you read in Judges are the workings of cause and effect in consciousness. Abimelech’s act of slaying his brothers is the ruling will of fear and ambition acting through a single life; the seventy slain brothers symbolize fractured aspects of your own self that you have attempted to dominate or erase. When that self asserts, the inner atmosphere becomes crowded with hostility, and the world of appearances reflects that discord. The phrase ‘Thus God rendered the wickedness’ is the law of your own mind returning what you have sown—an invitation to observe, revise, and reclaim. The curse on Shechem points to collective patterns you hold in consciousness; you are asked to release judgment, to align perception with wholeness, and to allow Providence to guide you toward reconciliation. When you realize you are the I AM experiencing this flow, you can transform by choosing love, responsibility, and a new, unified order.
