Slow to Anger, Peace Within

Proverbs 15:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 15 in context

Scripture Focus

18A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Proverbs 15:18

Biblical Context

Wrath stirs strife, while slow anger appeases it. The verse invites a shift from reactive emotion to measured, peaceful response.

Neville's Inner Vision

Be mindful that anger is not the enemy but a state of your own consciousness that you have mistaken for reality. In the I AM that you are, wrath stirs strife because you imagine yourself separate from the harmony you desire. Slow to anger is not a color of temper but a deliberate shift of attention from problem to presence. When you dwell in the space of quiet perception, you appease the strife you once believed existed between you and another. The world, which Proverbs calls out, answers to the inner weather of your mind: soften the tone of your inner conversation, choose mercy, and let your assumption of peace redraw the scene. You are not changing others; you are changing your state. The moment you entertain calm as the truth of your being, you dissolve the illusion of conflict and invite shalom into your life. This is the practical law: imagination creates reality, and patience converts passion into unity.

Practice This Now

Practically, assume a calm state now: close your eyes, breathe, and say 'I am the peace that quiets strife.' Then revise a recent dispute in your mind, seeing yourself slow to anger and letting harmony be your reality.
