Judge Not Grow In Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the sermon becomes a map of the inner state. When you judge another, you are merely contemplating a reflected aspect of your own consciousness; the mote you fix in another’s eye is the very belief you hold about imperfection within yourself. The beam in your eye is what you refuse to see—the rigid standard by which you condemn, which blocks your clear vision. Cast out the beam by turning inward, not by changing the other; willing acceptance and inner revision dissolve the friction. The lines 'Ask, seek, knock' point to an inner practice: imagine and feel that the good you desire is already yours; your Father in heaven is the I AM within you, responding to your inner state. As you cultivate this inner state, you become capable of giving truly good gifts, not from scarcity but from wholeness. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you becomes the law of your inner life—the exact reflection of how you think and feel about yourself. The pearl-before-swine warning suggests sharing your truth only where it can awaken, not wound.
