Quiet Shield of Faithful Secrecy
Proverbs 11:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 11:13 contrasts the talebearer who reveals secrets with the faithful who conceals them. It points to integrity—speaking only what is needed and guarding others' trust.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take a moment and watch the impulse to reveal another's secrets arise as a movement of your inner state. In this moment you are not reporting an external fact, you are choosing a state, and that choice writes your reality. The talebearer is the part of you that seeks to confirm itself through speech, projecting insecurity onto the world. The faithful spirit, however, remains in the sanctuary of awareness where the matter is kept private and harmless. When you conceal, you are not repressing truth; you are choosing alignment with the I AM that knows all conditions are only thoughts appearing in consciousness. By withholding the outward spill, you preserve the integrity of another and strengthen the trust that underwrites your own sense of reality. Your secrets kept away from the loud air of gossip become seeds sown in imagination, from which a steadier, more prudent self grows. Practice turning every impulse to reveal into a reaffirmation of your inner sovereignty and unity with the one consciousness that never betrays itself.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: when you feel the urge to gossip, stop, breathe, and declare in your mind that the matter remains sealed in your inner sanctuary. Then revise by assuming the truth you desire: that you are a faithful keeper of confidences, and your inner state of trust creates harmony in your world.
