Inner Wisdom Awakens Knowledge
Proverbs 1:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 1 in context

Biblical Context
Proverbs 1:22 questions why the simple love their easy ways, why scorners delight in mockery, and why fools hate knowledge.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the reader who awakens as I AM, these words are not accusation but invitation. The 'simple' are states of consciousness that cling to appearances; the 'scorner' is a habit of judgment that mocks truth; the 'fool' is a resistant feeling that refuses to expand awareness. Knowledge is not outside you, but an inner light you already possess, awaiting your decision to claim it. All three characters arise from your inner world, and their power dissolves when you assume a new identity: I am the one who knows. When you stop resisting knowledge as something to fear or argue with, you invite a transformation of perception; your environment becomes a mirror of this revision, revealing that what you call knowledge is simply awareness itself. The more you practice living as the I AM—the experiencer who witnesses thoughts, judgments, and conclusions—the more the wind of wisdom blows through you. The scorners fall silent, the simple ones grow curious, and the fools begin to listen, because you have chosen to know yourself as truth.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly for a few minutes and mentally declare, 'I am the I AM, and knowledge arises from my awareness.' Then revise a recent belief by affirming, 'From this moment, I welcome knowledge as my inner perception.'
