Wakeful Hunger Within
Proverbs 19:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Slothfulness casts the mind into a deep sleep, and the idle soul experiences lack. The verse shows that inner laxity becomes outer hunger.
Neville's Inner Vision
God is the I AM you are now. Slothfulness is the habit of denying the present imaginative act; it is the deep sleep of the mind that forgets it is the source of all nourishment. When you accept this 'idle' posture, you awaken only to absence; hunger follows as a companion to that forgetting. But the truth remains: you are the creator of your world by the way you imagine and insist upon your state. The hungry condition you perceive is a signal that you have settled into a consciousness of lack rather than abundance. Therefore, revise the inner picture: insist that you are already fed, held, and provided for, in your own I AM. Feel the reality of nourishment now, not as a distant future, but as a present consciousness. In obedience to this gentle inner command, detach from sloth and reaffirm discipline of thought, feeling, and imagination. Hunger dissolves when wakefulness replaces sleep, and you discover your life responds to your inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already nourished in the I AM. Feel that nourishment in your body and proceed to a simple daily task with disciplined, attentive action.
