Inner Roots of Foolishness

Neville's Inner Vision

Your text is not about biology but about the weather of your inner atmosphere. Begetteth a fool is a moment when you entertain a belief or impulse that acts foolishly in your life. The 'fool' is a pattern of thought—fissures of fear, vanity, or impatience—that you unconsciously seed in the garden of your consciousness. When you nourish that pattern, you bring sorrow upon yourself: misaligned outcomes, strained relationships, drained energy, and a joyless inner climate. The 'father of a fool'—the part of you that feeds such a pattern—loses its joy because your I AM, your awareness, remains unsettled by conflicting images. But the scripture invites a reversal by a single shift: assume a wiser state. Decide that your inner life is governed by discernment rather than impulse, and feel the joy that follows inner alignment. As you persist in this revision, the outer world follows your inner posture. The fool fades as you acknowledge you are the creator by whom life is formed; joy returns when you dwell in wisdom rather than in folly.
