Inner Death, Righteous Hope
Proverbs 14:32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The wicked are swept away by their own wickedness, while the righteous retain hopeful admission of life even as they face death. It teaches that outward events echo inner states: the wicked exile themselves through their fear, while the righteous endure, awaiting renewal beyond death.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville Goddard lens, the verse speaks to two states you carry in consciousness. Wickedness is not punishment from an external deity; it is a self-willed inner motion that pushes you away from your true being. When you live in guilt, fear, and domination you are driven away by the energy you cultivate—like wind scattering straw. The word death in your life is not a catastrophe but a threshold where the old sense of self yields to a deeper realization: you are the I AM, not the name of your body or the sum of your fears. The righteous, those who live as awareness, have hope because their sense of self remains intact through any change; they know that death is a doorway, not an end. In that consciousness, there is an unshakable expectancy of life arising anew from within, a resurrection of the self into greater light. The verse invites you to align with the I AM so that even the mortal ending reveals a greater birth.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the I AM now and feel death as a doorway to greater life. In quiet, revise any fear of endings until it feels real.
