Neville Goddard on Romans 2:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

3And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Romans 2:1-3

Biblical Context

When you judge another, you condemn yourself. God's judgment is truth, and you cannot escape it.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, hear the whisper of the I AM: judgment is not out there; it is a state you carry, an inner movement you entertain. Whenever you condemn another, you are evaluating a part of your own consciousness, and in that moment you seal a measure over your own heart. The law of God—the judgment that seems to come from outside—stands as the truth of your present state. If you insist that others deserve punishment, you are insisting on separation from your own wholeness; you imprison yourself in a belief that you could be apart from divine order. The cure is simple: revise the state. Stop trying to correct externals; imagine the unity of all beings within your own awareness. Say, 'I AM that I AM; I am not separate from you, for you are me in expression.' Feel the mercy, patience, and humility that accompany this recognition; let the feeling finish the thought. In that quiet revision, you are free, and the apparent judgment dissolves into understanding.

Practice This Now

Choose a recent person you judged; close your eyes, imagine them as a movement within your own consciousness, and rehearse the feeling of 'I AM' toward them until the judgment fades.
