The Vanity of Worldly Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

See the world's wisdom as a mask worn to fit a dream; the I AM within you calls you to unmask it. Godward discernment is not cleverness in the eyes of men, but the inner alignment of awareness with truth. When the text says the wisdom of this world is foolish with God, it invites you to shift allegiance from outward craftiness to inner realization. The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, and finds them vain—so you are asked to replace vanity with a living sense of the I AM's presence. In this light, 'wisdom' becomes your immediate, inner understanding that does not seek applause from the outside world. You are not excused from intellect; rather you are asked to use it under new management—as a tool of inner seeing rather than outer cleverness. Trust that your true guidance comes from within, the I AM, which fashions reality through assumption and feeling. In that posture, the contradiction between world and God dissolves, and you walk in a discernment that fashions your life from the inside out.
