Quiet Wisdom Within Pride

Proverbs 11:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 11 in context

Scripture Focus

2When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
Proverbs 11:2-3

Biblical Context

Pride invites shame; humility bears wisdom. The upright's integrity guides their way, while the perverseness of transgressors leads to their destruction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Its meaning is not a moral verdict but a law of inner states. Pride is a proud posture that says, I am separate from truth, and it births shame in the outer world as surely as dawn follows night. The lowly, the teachable consciousness, accepts what is true and invites wisdom to enter as living reality. The integrity of the upright is your inner alignment—an unwavering fidelity to your inner truth, guiding every choice. When you assume that state, life follows your direction with quiet certainty, and you move with a sure step through your day. The perverseness of transgressors—persistent inner conflict—destroys their way because it breaks the unity between inner state and outer form. Therefore, the outer world mirrors your inner condition: by choosing humility and integrity, you awaken the inner guidance that causes life to unfold in harmony with your true I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the humble, wise you who is teachable and aligned with inner truth. Revise any prideful thought and feel-it-real that your path is guided by inner integrity from this moment.
