Quiet Thought, Wise Words
Proverbs 15:28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse contrasts two kinds of hearts: the righteous, who carefully consider how to answer, and the wicked, who spill evil words.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner world is the true stage where every word is born. When the heart is righteous, it does not hurry to answer; it reads the question within the light of the I AM—awareness itself—testing every response against truth, usefulness, and love. The 'studies to answer' is a disciplined state: you pause, you listen, you align your thought with the state you wish to manifest. If you imagine your words before they move your lips, you are not controlling others; you are shaping your own gravity, so that your speech flows from a calm center rather than from fear, pride, or habit. The mouth of the wicked pours out evil because its inner state is discordant; it lacks a moment of inner audition. By consistently returning to the I AM, you inhabit that quiet whereby speech becomes an expression of inner harmony. Practice returns to you in the form of words that heal, build, and reveal truth, not by admonition but by the radiance of being.
Practice This Now
Practice: before you respond, close your eyes for a breath, place a hand on your heart, and declare, 'I am the I AM; I choose words that reflect truth and purity.' Then rehearse your next answer in inner conversation until you feel your words already exist in that state.
