Wisdom Loves the Self

Proverbs 19:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 19 in context

Scripture Focus

8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
Proverbs 19:8

Biblical Context

Getting wisdom is loving your own soul; keeping understanding brings good.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you the verse is not about chasing wisdom in the outer world but about becoming aware of the inner state called wisdom. When you decide that wisdom is a state of consciousness you already possess, you love your own soul by honoring that inner light. To get wisdom is to accept it as your I AM—your settled understanding, your unshakable discernment—not a prize to gain. When you keep understanding, you do not cling to facts but steward a harmonious inner conditioning that calls good into visibility. The good you seek is the natural fruit of the state you inhabit. Therefore, assume you are wise; feel the quiet certainty, the calm, accurate perception that dissolves fear. In that feeling, you are not trying to produce outcomes but permitting them to appear as you rest in the truth that you are the I AM, the source of all insight. Your imagination becomes the instrument by which this inner fact births form in your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, declare, 'I am wise; I love my soul,' and feel the realization settling in. Then revise a current issue by assuming the wiser understanding is already true, letting it soften your perception and invite good.
