Hidden Motives, Visible Justice
Psalms 58:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 58 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says wickedness begins in the heart, not only in deeds. It shows that inner motives shape the world you see.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider the line as a mirror of your own consciousness. The 'wickedness' is not a distant crime in a distant world; it is the inner state you entertain, a thought-feeling that you call justice while secretly fearing limitation. The heart is the governor; when you imagine violence or vindication, you are weighing the violence with your 'hands' in the earth, projecting a world that matches that inner verdict. The psalmist does not condemn some external actor; he calls you to wake to the consistency of your inner life. If you believe you are separated from others, you will justify harm, scarcity, and control in the outward world. But by turning within and choosing a state of unity, mercy, and right order, you reorder your outward events. The I AM, your true self, is the power that aligns both heart and action. When you insist that you are just and loving, you will observe the world accordingly changing to mirror that conviction. The transformation begins as an inner enactment that repeats until it feels inevitable.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of inner justice now; silently say, 'I am the justice I seek' and feel it as fact. Stay in that feeling until your thoughts and actions begin to align with it.
