Loving Instruction Within
Proverbs 12:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says that loving instruction brings knowledge, while resisting correction marks a closed, brutish mind. It invites us to welcome correction as inner guidance toward wisdom.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard lens, loving instruction is a state of consciousness that greets truth, and knowledge is the fruit of that state. The I AM within is the witness and owner of every thought; to love instruction is to align your inner self with the sound of truth. The reproof you resist is the pressure of old habits shoving against growth. When you resist, you harden into a brutish posture; when you consent, your inner atmosphere shifts and wisdom flows. Humility and meekness are not weakness but readiness to be instructed by your own divine self. By assuming that correction is a friendly guide, you awaken discernment and learn to revise without force, allowing obedience and faithfulness to emerge from your true nature. So the verse becomes practical: cultivate the feeling that correction is a gift, and let your imagination revise your self-image until your awareness acts in harmony with the I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare: I love instruction and I welcome reproof as inner guidance. Feel the I AM steadying your consciousness into obedience and growth.
