Inner Judgment of Capernaum

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, the towns are inner states, not maps of geography. Capernaum represents a consciousness that is exalted, trusting outward marvels while neglecting inner conversion. The mighty works you seem to perform in your life are inner miracles of awareness; if you cling to that exalted self, you invite a fall by the very force of consciousness. The 'day of judgment' is your moment of self-recognition, when you detect that status cannot heal what only the I AM can. The land of Sodom symbolizes a habitual hardness, a refusal to revise your inner picture. The invitation is to realize that miracles appear not to prove power in the world but to prove the reality of your inner state. When you revise your self-view—aligning it with humility, mercy, and compassion—you invert the order: judgment becomes guidance, downfall becomes turning-inward, and endurance arises from a joyous, intimate relationship with the I AM. The difference is your choice in imagination: you can keep the old exalted image, or you can choose the new, which is already real in consciousness.
