Inner Witness Speaks Truth

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, this proverb is not about judges but about your inner courtroom. A 'false witness' is a mis-stated picture you hold about someone or about your life, and the 'punishment' you fear is the steady disintegration of peace when your I AM is bent by deceit. When you dwell in the awareness that you are always the witness of your scene, you will see that lying is a misalignment of your state of consciousness with truth. The I AM cannot be deceived; by imagining you see through illusions, you invite the death of the old image you have of yourself and others, making space for a fresh, honest posture. So shift your attention away from judging others and toward observing your own mental pictures with candor. Know that every inner lie corrodes peace, while a steadfast assumption of truth births clarity, integrity, and alignment with reality. The punishment dissolves as you inhabit the consciousness that you are always the truthful observer, connected to the one I AM that eternally witnesses reality.
