Inner Discernment for Outer Beauty

Proverbs 11:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 11 in context

Scripture Focus

22As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
Proverbs 11:22

Biblical Context

Proverbs 11:22 juxtaposes outer beauty with inner discretion, showing that beauty without discernment is wasted and dignity eroded. Discretion is the inner alignment that sustains value.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, the scene is a state of consciousness, not a moral tale about women. The jewel of gold symbolizes your radiant I AM, a truth that shines when rightly placed by discernment. When beauty stands alone—without the guard of wisdom—the image sits in a swine’s snout, easily bent by appetite, opinion, or circumstance. The verse invites you to examine what you imagine as real: is your desire for beauty governed by inner order, or by passing feeling? If you accept a state where beauty is free of discretion, you invite that beauty to be devalued by the world and by your own reactions. But you are not bound to that state. You are the I AM, the constant awareness that imagines and then lives what it imagines. By choosing a state of inner discretion, you align form with character; your outer life reflects a dignified, wise beauty. The jewel, then, becomes not a spectacle but a symbol of an orderly mind at rest, guiding speech, choices, and relationships with grace and truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a jewel of gold resting in the mouth of your being. Affirm I AM the discernment that governs this beauty, and carry that feeling into every choice until it feels real.
