Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 12:9-11 speaks of the preacher who teaches knowledge, arranges proverbs, and writes honest truths. The words of the wise are like goads and nails, set by the shepherd of all, guiding the community toward truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you lies the preacher—the awake I AM—carefully gathering knowledge and shaping words that awaken life. The proverbs you set in order are the affirmations you choose to anchor your being; the seeking of acceptable words is the choosing of thoughts that are upright and true. The words of the wise act as goads, prodding you out of habitual sleep, and as nails, fixing truths fastened by the one Shepherd inside—your singular consciousness that governs experience. When you regard these words as actively writing your life, you place yourself under the inner shepherd's governance, and your world becomes the orderly expression of inner truths. Remember that all teaching and all verses originate from one Source; your task is to feel that authority as present reality here and now, not as distant guidance.
Practice This Now
Assume the role of the wise preacher within: revise a current worry by restating it as upright truth and feel it real, guided by the one Shepherd inside.
