Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that Proverbs does not measure happiness by external achievement, but by the alignment of your inner state with your spoken word. In the Neville Goddard mode, 'A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth' becomes a declaration about awareness. Your I AM is always complete; what you utter is an outward sign of the inner season you consciously inhabit. When you assume a word will land in its due season, you are not twisting fate but attuning to the inner rhythm of Providence. The 'due season' is your present mood, the state of consciousness you dwell in right now. Speak from that state, and your words carry the color of that inner light, drawing events that confirm it. The joy you perceive is the pleasure of the inner unity between feeling, belief, and spoken word. If you feel doubt, revise to a feeling of readiness and gratitude, and let the next utterance arise from that renewed state. You are not at the mercy of timing; you are the timing, via the I AM that is you.
Practice This Now
Practice: in your imagination, assume the exact word spoken in due season already exists; feel the joy now, and let that inner word color your next real conversation.
