Judgment Reframed: Inner Turning

Luke 13:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 13 in context

Scripture Focus

1There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
Luke 13:1-2

Biblical Context

The passage reports Galileans' slaughter and questions whether their fate marks them as more sinful; Jesus rejects this notion and directs attention to inner turning rather than judging others by external events.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville reading, this scene is a map of your inner weather. The Galileans and their fate symbolize states of consciousness—not external sinners punished by God, but patterns you briefly entertain in your mind. The question 'were they sinners above all' is the ego’s trap, a habit of judging life instead of owning it. When you hear of others' suffering, you are invited to look inward: what thought or feeling am I entertaining that would produce such appearances in my world? The only reality is the I AM, the awareness that never changes. If I truly believe I am the I AM, I cannot condemn, for condemnation arises from a misidentified self. The moment of repentance Neville speaks of is a turning of attention back to this center, a deliberate revision: 'I am now aligned with the living God within,' and then feeling that assurance as real. As you hold that felt state, the outer events shift to reflect your inner harmonization. Suffering becomes a signal to re-enter the light of your own consciousness, not a verdict upon others.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit, close your eyes, and repeat, 'I am the I AM; I dwell in harmony now.' Feel that state as real for several minutes, then imagine news of others' tragedy being reflected as your own inner alignment shifting toward peace.
