Humility Opens Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

To interpret Proverbs 11:2, I see pride as a state of consciousness that lifts you above the whole and locks you into appearance. The moment you claim you are superior, you contract an inner movement that provokes external shame as a mirror of that separation. When I consent to the lowly state—the inner recognition that I am not above, but one with all—I release the need for external recognition and the mind's light returns as wisdom—discernment, timing, and peaceful action. Humility is not weakness; it is alignment with the I AM that animates all. By imagining I am already the humble observer, I dissolve the old image of pride and the world responds with wiser choices and steadier perception. The practice is to assume the humble state, feel it real, and revise the scene until the inner image matches wisdom in action.
