Inner Reproof, Prudent State

Neville's Inner Vision

In this Neville-style reading, Proverbs 15:5 speaks not merely about a father and son, but about states of consciousness. The 'fool' is a fixed identity that despises correction from the inner governor—the I AM, the awareness that creates your world. Reproof, in this light, is not punishment but a gentle nudge from your higher self to realign your thoughts and beliefs. When you resist it, you harden a self-image and lock yourself into a narrow pattern; when you welcome it, you soften pride and invite a wiser momentum to move through your life. By regarding reproof, you shift into a prudent state—an inner harmony where your desires, choices, and actions reflect truth rather than impulse. The father’s instruction is the inner standard you consent to in consciousness, not an outside demand. Practice becomes your path: notice when a corrective thought arises, treat it as guidance from the I AM, and revise your feeling about yourself accordingly. Sit with the sensation of being corrected and affirm that you are already that prudent self, letting the correction shape your next moment.
