Tilting the Inner Land
Proverbs 12:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 12:11 contrasts industrious cultivation with chasing vanity; true nourishment comes from tending your inner soil. The verse invites you to choose disciplined inner work over empty pursuits.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider the verse as a declaration of the state you assume. The land you tilled is the mind you tend with attention, discipline, and a clear image of abundance. When you make a firm assumption that your inner soil is fertile, you water it with constant feeling of gratitude, and you weed out thoughts of lack by refusing them entry into consciousness. The bread you seek is not a future date but a present fulfillment arising from the inner movement you entertain. To follow vain persons is to abandon your own inner discernment, to listen to idle, flashy desires that pretend to nourish life yet leave the mind barren. You are not at the mercy of circumstances; you are the Consciousness that sows seeds and calls the harvest into being. Hold the vision of prospering arms as if it already existed, and live from that state. As you persist in this revised assumption, the outer world will align and supply will appear in its proper form. The I AM within you is the tiller; let it do the work and you will eat the bread of your own making.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are tilled soil in the mind, receiving abundance; gently revise any thought of lack and feel-it-real that bread is yours in the present.
