Impartial Judgment Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Proverbs 18:5 is not about external courts but about the inner court of your consciousness. If you accept the wicked as having power in your state, you tilt the scales of judgment against your own righteousness. The 'overthrow the righteous' phrase warns that a biased mind destroys the integrity of your decisions. The remedy is not more analysis but a deliberate re-imagination: assume the I AM as impartial observer, the ruler who judges without sentiment or fear. Remember, your imagination is the architect of reality; by dwelling in a state of fair discernment, you invite justice to express through your life. See through appearances, not with cynicism, but with the unwavering light of inner law. In this sense, the 'wicked' and the 'righteous' are not external characters but states of consciousness. When you cultivate the feeling of fair, impartial judgment, you empower the higher self to govern. The verse invites you to rule your inner court by love and truth, not by bias, fear, or self-interest. Practically, you can revise any judgment that favors the one while condemning the other, until your mind stands in the equilibrium of true justice.
