Inner Counsel for Life's Path
Proverbs 15:22-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Without counsel, plans come to naught; with the many counsellors, aims are established. A timely, well-spoken word brings joy, and the wise walk the path that rises above the lower states.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this proverb the outer scene of counsel mirrors your inner state. the multitude of counsellors you imagine are the many facets of your own consciousness weighing possibilities. When you rest in the I AM—the steady presence that perceives—these voices settle and you hear a single, decisive suggestion in due season. A purpose dependent on external opinions becomes fragile; drawing from your inner wise counsel makes your aims established. The 'way of life' above the wise is a state of consciousness, not a place. It is the attitude that refuses to be dragged by hell beneath—the fear, lack, and limitation of the lower self. To walk in life is to dwell in that ascent, to speak from it, and to allow your imagination to render the desired outcome as already present. The joy of the mouth's answer arises when your inner vision has settled the matter in the I AM and your outward words align with that reality. You are not bargaining with others but aligning with your true state of awareness, letting inner counsel establish what the outer world reflects.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and imagine a council chamber within your chest where inner voices gather. Request the wise word in due season, listen, and then utter that sentence as if it has already occurred; feel the certainty ripple into your next steps.
