Inner Wisdom, Slow Steps
Proverbs 19:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Biblical Context
Proverbs 19:2 warns that the soul is not well when it lacks knowledge, and rushing into action without inner wisdom leads to sin.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the scripture, the 'soul' is your state of consciousness; a life without knowledge is a mind unsettled, and outcomes mirror that unsettled state. To hasten with your feet is not merely rushing; it is acting without the quiet authority of the I AM presence, without the felt truth that you are already the state you seek. When you dwell in knowledge—an inner conviction that you know the truth of your being—the impulse to act erupts from certainty rather than need. The only sin here is the refusal to assume the end in mind and let imagination do the work. Haste interrupts the image and yields results that feel forced or incomplete. The verse invites a disciplined inner revision: you are not the body rushing; you are the awareness observing the impression and choosing to align with the end you desire. As you persist in that alignment, the outer world, with its appearances, will catch up to the inner truth.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in quiet, assume the end as already mine, and revise any urge to hurry with the words, 'I move with knowledge; I am led by the I AM.' Let that inner sentence guide every action.
