Honest Scales, Inner Wisdom
Proverbs 11:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 11:1-3 contrasts a false balance with true measurement, revealing how inner states shape outer life. Pride brings shame, humility invites wisdom, and integrity guides the upright.
Neville's Inner Vision
Listen within: the 'false balance' is not a material scale but a misalignment of your awareness. The LORD’s delight in a just weight is the moment your I AM witnesses the true measure of your thoughts and motives. When pride swells, you contract your awareness into a small self-image, and the psyche answers with shame, for you have separated power from the whole of your being. Yet humility is not weakness; it is the spaciousness in which wisdom can move. The upright do not boast of better standing; they have allowed the truth of their nature to register, and that truth guides every action with quiet authority. The perverseness of transgressors is simply the belief that you are apart from your Source, a belief which stirs conflict and ruin. Seen thus, success, justice, and harmony are movements of consciousness: to the degree you align with integrity, your life flows in that direction. The inner decision precedes any outer result; you are the scale, and by assuming the state of being true to your I AM, you keep it true.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the state of true measure as your current reality. When pride arises, revise it by affirming 'I AM balanced; I AM true to my inner scale,' and feel that truth settle in your chest.
