Inner Fruits of Choice

Proverbs 1:31-32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 1 in context

Scripture Focus

31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Proverbs 1:31-32

Biblical Context

Those who choose their own path reap the fruit of that choice. Turning away from wisdom brings ruin, and the prosperity of fools destroys them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is a mirror of the state of your consciousness. When the verse speaks of eating the fruit of your own way, it is not punishment from without, but the natural harvest of your inner scripts. The 'simple' wandering in ignorance is your unrefined, unhealed self—until it is confronted by a decision to revise. The 'prosperity of fools' is not wealth but a smooth but hollow sense of well-being that arises from constellating beliefs that you cannot change; it slowly erodes as life asks for a deeper alignment. By assuming a new state, you replant the tree. The moment you say 'I choose awareness as my reality' or 'I am the I AM who governs this moment,' you begin ingesting a different fruit—the fruit of deliberate perception. The outer world rearranges to match the inner revision, and the old devices fall away. You are not a victim of circumstance; you are the operator, choosing the next thought that becomes your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, adopt a steady, quiet breath, and with the phrase 'I AM Wisdom governing my life,' feel the reality of a wiser choice as if already true. See one concrete area where you will revise a belief today.
