The Inner Counsel Speaks
Proverbs 12:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse contrasts the fool who thinks his own view is right with the wise who hearkens to counsel.
Neville's Inner Vision
Is the fool's rightness a fixed thought, an unyielding posture of the ego? In this reading the way is a state of consciousness. A person who clings to his own view remains on one level and does not surrender to counsel. The wise person hearkens to counsel, which is the inner whisper of the I AM within, guiding toward truth beyond opinion. When you catch yourself defending a stance as if it were final, pause and revise. Assume that you are now hearing a larger voice, and feel the impulse to adjust, to yield, to listen for the counsel that harmonizes with love, discernment, and faithful action. Self-righteousness casts a shadow of pride; teachability invites humility and grace. Every act of listening expands your reality, because imagination is the creator. The inner counsel does not demand outward obedience; it invites alignment with your true nature. So practice listening, revise quickly, and feel your state shift from rigidity to receptive wisdom.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: At the next decision, pause and imagine the I AM within offering guidance. Revise your stance to fit that inward counsel and feel the teachable state becoming your default.
