Inner Boundaries of Righteousness
Proverbs 15:25-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage contrasts pride with humility, harsh thoughts with pure words, greed with generosity, and careful, righteous speech with reckless talk. It also ties divine attention to the prayers of the righteous and distance from the wicked.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you the I AM is the Lord of your life. The 'house of the proud' dissolves when you identify with pride, so you choose to establish a border around the tender self—your widow—by acting with justice and love. The 'thoughts of the wicked' clash with your nature, while the 'words of the pure' harmonize with reality and invite pleasant outcomes. Greed narrows the inner home and creates trouble; to hate gifts is to live in freedom, because true life flows from open receptivity. The 'heart of the righteous studieth to answer' means you pause, inquire, and then speak from inner alignment; the 'mouth of the wicked' speaks in disorder. The Lord is far from the wicked when you forget your unity, but hears the prayers of the righteous who dwell in the one consciousness. So revise any sense of lack, claim this state as your own, and let imagination perform the act of creation: you are the practitioner of justice, your words heal, and your prayers awaken the infinite within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the state 'I am the righteousness of God now'; feel the calm border around your life. Hold this feeling for a minute, revise any prideful thought, and let your next spoken word arise from that inner truth.
