The Inner Judge and Justice

Neville's Inner Vision

Child, the psalmist speaks to the states of your own consciousness. When you hear 'they judge unjustly' you are hearing the habit of a mind that forgets its true Self. The call to defend the poor and deliver the needy is the invitation to awaken mercy as your ruling state. The 'poor' and 'fatherless' symbolize neglected parts of you—innocence, imagination, courage—that fear has pressed into silence. To deliver them is to withdraw attention from the wicked narratives you have about yourself and to affirm the I AM as your sole reality. Darkness is not a night outside but the blindness of believing you are separate from the Source of your life. When you revise your assumption to 'I AM the justice that judges rightly,' the outer scene reorders itself to reflect that inner order. Your consciousness is the king; justice is simply a new mode of being, a felt sense of harmony you assume until it becomes fact. Thus the psalm becomes a practical instruction: awaken to your oneness, and justice will appear in form.
