Scripture Focus

25A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
Proverbs 17:25

Biblical Context

The verse portrays that a foolish son causes grief to the father and bitterness to the mother. It signals inner disharmony and the pain of misdirected energy.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's perspective, the 'foolish son' is a belief or impulse born in the depths of consciousness. The father stands for the inner order, the I AM directing life; the mother represents nurture, receptivity, and the creative energy through which life is given form. When the foolish impulse overrules the law of life, that inner order grieves and the nurturing energy dries into bitterness. Yet the scriptural scene is not condemnatory; it is a map of states that can be revised. The moment you accept that you are the I AM, you can reaffiliate the inner powers: the father and mother become harmonious faces of one consciousness, guiding every thought and feeling. In that light, the "son" no longer rebels but is gently redirected into obedience and wisdom, and the whole inner household hums with peace. Your present experience is the mirror of your established consciousness. If you imagine a new self—where discipline, love, and faith work together under the same I AM—you’ll find the external scene softening to match.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the I AM as both father and mother in you; revise the 'foolish son' into a wise impulse and feel inner harmony as real. Let the feeling of unity spread through your chest until the sense of separation dissolves.
