Wisdom's Inner Gaze Revealed
Proverbs 17:24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Wisdom is before those who have understanding; their attention is inward. The eyes of a fool, however, are fixed on the ends of the earth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Proverbs 17:24 sets two modes of consciousness before you: the wise observer who keeps the inner light before him, and the fool whose gaze runs outward to the ends of the earth. In Neville's terms, wisdom is not a collection of external proofs; it is a state of awareness that remains steady, quiet, and present. The outward chase is a sign of a mind that has forgotten its creative power; the inner gaze is a return to I AM, to the imagination that births reality. When you dwell in the understanding that you are the perceiver, you stop scattering attention across distant objects and begin to form the world from within. The 'ends of the earth' become vivid only to the mind that interprets them as separate from its own feeling of sufficiency. So assume you are the one who understands. revise your assumption until your inner state feels complete, and let the outward scene align with that untroubled center. Reality conforms to your inner conviction.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM wisdom is before me.' Repeat 'I dwell in inner understanding' until that feeling settles as real; then observe how outward scenes align with that inner certainty.
