The Wise Son Within

Proverbs 10:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 10 in context

Scripture Focus

1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
Proverbs 10:1

Biblical Context

The verse contrasts a wise son who brings joy to his father with a foolish son who grieves his mother. It shows how inner states shape outer relationships.

Neville's Inner Vision

As you awaken to the I AM, you recognize the 'wise son' and the 'foolish son' are inner states of consciousness. Your inner father and mother symbolize judgment and nurture, and the way you image yourself determines which is active. Dwell in the state of the wise son—clear, aware, faithful—so that your choices radiate joy, praise, and harmony; the heaviness of the mother arises from fear and lack masquerading as fact. The magic is not to change others but to revise your self-image until the inner decree is, 'I am the wise son now; my awareness makes my father glad.' When you persist in this assumption, the outer world rearranges to reflect that inner truth: relationships soften, responsibilities align, and life becomes a continual expression of gratitude. The I AM within you is the source of all obedience and faithfulness; by abiding in that state, you bless your family without effort, simply through the reality you cultivate within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise: I am the wise son; my awareness makes my father glad. Feel the inner state shift and notice the world reflecting that joy.
