Inner Judgment and Justice

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville Goddard frame, Malachi 3:5 is not about a distant judgment day but about your inner I AM awakening to itself. When the text says I will come near to you for judgment, it is your own state of consciousness drawing near to every thought and feeling you have entertained. The sorcerers, adulterers, and false swearers symbolize inner habits of fear, self-deception, and broken promises that tempt separation from your true nature. To fear not me is to forget that the judge and the witness are one with you, the I AM that experiences awareness. The swift witness is your present awareness, exposing misalignment the moment you imagine or justify cruelty or neglect toward the vulnerable parts of yourself. By choosing compassion for the hireling, the widow, the fatherless, and the stranger within, you align your inner climate with justice, and your life follows suit. The law is consciousness, and consciousness is God in you; change the inner condition and the outer scene must rearrange itself. You are invited to practice the felt sense of righteousness that already stands as your true state.
