Inner Judgment and Understanding

Neville's Inner Vision

Truth arrives as a state of consciousness. The text does not speak of men as afar, but of minds in rebellion or surrender. Evil men are identified with the sense of separation, who insist that judgment comes from outside and thus remain blind to its true origin. The seeking of the LORD within is a shift of consciousness, not a plea to a distant judge. When I or you turn attention from the outer scene to the I AM within, the mind ceases to project guilt or fear and begins to understand judgment as a function of awareness itself. In that quiet, every event answers to the question What am I aware of right now? The man who seeks the LORD discovers that all discernment flows from the one power that knows itself as I AM. Judgment ceases to be a harsh verdict and becomes a clarifying inward seeing, revealing the unity behind appearances. The world does not change first; your inner perception transforms and, with it, the relationships and facts you call outer reality.
