Shame Of Violent Action
Obadiah 1:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Obadiah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns that violence toward thy brother Jacob brings enduring shame and exclusion. It frames harm as a consequence that arises from an inner state more than from external decree.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 1:10 is a mirror for the inner state. When you condemn or harm your brother Jacob, you reveal a consciousness that perceives separation, scarcity, and threat where none truly exists. In Neville's language, violence toward another is violence against the I AM within you, a misalignment of your image with the truth of oneness. Shame follows because you have contradicted your eternal self, and you feel exile in your inner kingdom—the sense that you are cut off from life’s fullness. The remedy is not to argue with others but to revise your inner assumption: choose unity, treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated, and sense the relationship already restored. When you entertain only the inner fact of harmony, the outer situation begins to shift to match it, for imagination creates reality and the I AM within holds the truth of oneness.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of harmony with your neighbor for five minutes, imagining you are already together in peace; silently affirm 'I am one with all kin'.
