Inner Boundaries and Pure Words
Proverbs 15:25-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Biblical Context
Proverbs 15:25-26 speaks of inner judgments and the contrast between pride and purity: the proud fall while pure speech pleases God.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the 'house of the proud' as the mind built on self-exaltation, a fortress of separation that collapses when seen in the light of I AM. God, the I AM within you, does not punish so much as reveal—when you identify with a self that needs to be seen, its walls crumble and you are left with a new, stable boundary around what truly matters. The widow's border symbolizes a just order in your inner life: protection for the vulnerable, clarity of motive, and a life governed by harmony rather than ego schemes. The verse says the thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord; so when you entertain judgment, fear, or manipulation in your inner dialogue, you feed disorder. Conversely, the words of the pure are pleasant; when your inner speech aligns with purity, your world becomes agreeable and harmonious because you are aligned with the creative law of I AM. Practically, you can train your mind to replace thoughts of superiority with humble reverence for divine order, thereby establishing that inner border where true unity dwells.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling that you are the 'border' around your life, established by the I AM. Revise prideful thoughts by declaring, 'I am the I AM; the border of divine order surrounds me,' and feel the calm, pleasant speech that follows.
