Anger as Inner Judgment
Matthew 5:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Anger toward a brother signals an interior misalignment and a demand for judgment. The verse warns of inner consequences when we project hostility, revealing the need for inner renewal.
Neville's Inner Vision
Anger toward a brother is not aimed at him alone; it is a cry of your own consciousness for alignment. The brother stands as a symbol of a part of yourself you have not embraced; when you pronounce Raca or thou fool, you are labeling aspects of your inner life and feeding a wall between you and your true I AM. The so called judgment the council and the fire exists first as an inner discipline of your mind. In Neville terms there is only one life and that life is your awareness. If you condemn another you are condemning a portion of yourself and diminishing your own sense of being. The remedy is to reverse the script: imagine you are already unified with the other, and treat him as a fellow expression of the same reality you call God. By withholding belief in separation and choosing love, you dissolve the image that feeds anger and fear. Each moment you feel anger is a moment to revise the picture, not to punish the other but to return to the consciousness of oneness. From that vantage you acknowledge that you are not apart from your brother but freely united in the I AM that you are.
Practice This Now
Pause when anger rises, stop and assume I am one with you; imagine the other bathed in the same light of I AM that fills you, and stay with that feeling until it feels real.
