Inner Law Of Life And Desires
Proverbs 13:13-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 13 in context

Biblical Context
Despisers of the word invite destruction; those who fear and heed the commandment are rewarded with life. Wisdom's law is life-giving; refusing instruction brings hardship, while instruction accepted leads to honour.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let us view these lines as a map of your inner kingdom. The despisers are those who resist the word within; they live in a state of destruction by clinging to old images. The fear of the commandment is a turning toward the divine order within the I AM, and such fear yields life when you dwell in that order. The law of the wise is a fountain of life to depart from the snares of death—a constant flow when you heed the quiet inner instruction. Good understanding gives favour; the way of transgressors is hard because it is lived as a stubborn inner resistance. Every prudent man deals with knowledge; a fool lays open his folly by entertaining negative impulses. A wicked messenger falls into mischief; a faithful ambassador is health—your inner word becomes your outer state. Poverty and shame come to those who refuse instruction; but he that regards reproof is honoured. The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; when you align with inner discipline, longing becomes your tangible reality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am governed by the inner word; I am one with the I AM.' Then revise a recent doubt as correction from within and feel the new state as already true.
