Inner Wisdom Distinction
Proverbs 18:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 18:1-2 contrasts a person who, driven by desire and separation, seeks wisdom, with a fool who delights only in the self and not in understanding.
Neville's Inner Vision
Desire is not your enemy; it is the invitation of the I AM to enter and claim sovereignty over your inner world. When you choose to separate yourself from the noise of conditioned thoughts, you arm imagination to mingle with every form of wisdom. 'Intermeddling with all wisdom' becomes the inner, joyful dialogue of the I AM conversing with truth, not a struggle to master facts. The fool, on the other hand, takes delight in self-reflection that ends in self-discovery, a stuck, narrowed heart that shrinks from understanding. You are not here to discover a separate you; you are to awaken the I AM, the consciousness that already knows. In this moment, decide that you are the knower, the authority, the source of insight. Your life will rearrange itself as your inner state of awareness aligns with wisdom. The outer world becomes a mirror of the inner assumption.
Practice This Now
In a quiet moment, assume the feeling 'I am wise now' and dwell there for a few minutes, letting inner guidance answer a question as if it already knows.
