Righteous Speech Within
Proverbs 10:32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; the mouth of the wicked speaks forwardness. Inner alignment determines one's spoken life and, by extension, the world one encounters.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, Proverbs 10:32 is a law of consciousness expressed in speech. Your mouth echoes the state you dwell in: a mind centered in the I AM speaks what is acceptable, calm, and true; a mind unsettled or fearful crafts forwardness. The 'righteous' are simply those who have disciplined their inner conversations into agreement with what is good and true, not moral boast. The 'wicked' are the part of you that is fed by doubt and impulse, producing words that fragment and misalign your situation. When you imagine yourself as the speaker who already knows what is acceptable, you begin living from that inner standard. Practice a shift of the self, not a fight with others: repeat quietly, 'I am the source of what is acceptable in speech,' feel the conviction in your chest as you align your words with truth, kindness, and discernment. Your environment becomes a mirror of this inward alignment; events and people respond as your speech has prepared them to. Remember: attention and belief in the state of acceptable speech are the same thing, and imagination draws it into form.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: sit quietly and assume the state of the speaker whose lips know what is acceptable. Then mentally rehearse a real conversation where every sentence is 'acceptable'.
