Proverbs of Inner Authority
Proverbs 1:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 1 in context

Biblical Context
Proverbs 1:1 presents these sayings as Solomon's proverbs, attributed to the king of Israel, signaling wisdom rooted in a regal inner source.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville’s frame, the phrase 'the proverbs of Solomon' declares not a distant author, but the sovereign wisdom already resident in your being. Solomon represents the mature state of consciousness—the king who rules with discernment—rising from the memory-laden lineage of David. When you regard these proverbs as inner declarations, you shift authority from external tradition to your I AM, the aware center that can imagine and thus realize. The inner Solomon speaks not to your head but to your entire state of being; its voice is quiet, confident, and decisive, and the world outside mirrors the inward rulership you affirm. By assuming that this wisdom already exists in you, you perform a revision of doubt: you replace lack with a living pattern of prudent choice. Feel the sentiment: I am the king of my inner Israel, and my decisions align with wisdom. In that mood, your outward circumstances soften, clarity returns, and life resolves itself into the harmony of a governed mind.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, I am Solomon, king of my inner Israel. Assume that a current challenge is governed by wisdom; revise it by imagining a concise proverb that settles the matter.
