Inner Listening, Wise Obedience
Proverbs 13:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse contrasts a wise, receptive heart that heeds instruction with a scorner who refuses rebuke. It invites you to observe your own state and choose obedience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within every moment the wise son hears the Father’s instruction, not as a voice outside but as the now-present I AM that orders all things. The Father’s instruction is the I AM speaking through you, guiding impulse toward growth, harmony, and truth. When you resist rebuke, you resist your own reality; when you welcome correction, you welcome the very state that creates your world. The 'rebuke' becomes a turning point, a gentle nudge that shows where your imagination has wandered from its natural alignment. So the verse invites you to practice the inner discipline: dwell in the feeling of being corrected by your own consciousness, revise your attitude, and let obedience feel natural. As you interiorly assume that you have heard and followed, your outer environment begins to respond—quiet paths open, choices align, and the sense of separation dissolves into unity with your desired life. This is not punishment but the healing of the self through faithful listening.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner voice has spoken and you have followed. Revise your state to that obedient feeling and feel it real in the body so your next step follows effortlessly.
