Sweet Words, Wise Heart
Proverbs 16:21-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The wise in heart speak prudently, and the sweetness of their lips increases learning. Understanding is a wellspring of life, and pleasant words bring healing to the soul and bones.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the verse reveals that the wise in heart are prudent, and that the sweetness of the lips increases learning. In Neville's terms, your state of consciousness is the law; the outer conversation is but a mirror of your inner conviction. If you desire learning to flourish in your life, you do not change externals first; you change the inner assumption. See yourself as the wise in heart, a fountain of understanding. When you assume this, the sweetness of the lips becomes not harsh rhetoric but an alignment of your words with your innermost reality. The sound you utter is a vibrational act that nourishes your soul and, indeed, touches the bones. The instruction of fools is simply a habit of disbelief; awaken to the truth that understanding is a wellspring of life unto you. Practice living from the end: feel the healing energy of pleasant words now, and observe how your mind and mouth reflect that learning.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In the next moment, silently assume: I am the wise in heart; my words are honey for the soul and health to the bones. Speak from that feeling and watch your life echo the sweetness.
