Inner Wealth and Pride

Proverbs 13:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 13 in context

Scripture Focus

10Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
11Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Proverbs 13:10-11

Biblical Context

Contention arises from pride, while the well-advised walk in wisdom. Wealth acquired by vanity fades, but wealth gathered by labor increases.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 10–11 reveals the inner architecture of consciousness. Pride is a state that resists counsel, inviting contention into your world. When you choose the posture of the well-advised, you align with wisdom as a governing principle of your I AM. Wealth, seen here, is not external validation but the fruit of inner discipline: labor performed with awareness, not vanity performed for show. As you dwell in the imagined end of wise revision, you see your life rearranging to match that choice. The feeling of contention dissolves as the mind rests in the certainty that provision flows from the right use of energy and attention. You are not reaching outward for wealth; you are becoming the state that gathers through steady inner work. In this setting, the inner economy creates the outer, the Proud self fades, and the prudent self thrives, bringing the increase you sought.

Practice This Now

Assume the well-advised mind now. Revise a prideful thought into a calm, discerning view, and feel the relief of alignment. Imagine yourself gathering resources through steady inner work, and notice abundance flowing in.
