Romans 2:8-9

Biblical Context

The passage states that those who resist truth and choose unrighteousness will experience indignation and wrath, followed by tribulation and anguish.

Neville's Inner Vision

I have learned to read Romans 2:8-9 as a map of inner states, not of external judgment. The 'contentious' man who obeys unrighteousness is not punished by a distant force, but by the magnetic pull of his own thoughts away from truth. Indignation and wrath are the natural weather produced when the I AM forgets its union with truth; tribulation and anguish arise as the inner dissonance of a mind that refuses to align with what it already knows. In Neville's practice, you do not argue with appearances; you revise the state of consciousness that gave rise to them. See that the Jew and Gentile are not separated peoples but the two voices within you: the part that resists and the part that listens. When you choose to obey truth in imagination, you awaken a new state of awareness in which harsh judgments soften, and the inner world reflects peace rather than conflict. Your reality follows your consciousness, not the other way around.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and repeat softly, 'I am the I AM obeying truth now.' Feel the shift as the contentious part relaxes and the mind aligns with inner knowing; dwell there for a minute.
