Inner Scales of Truth
Proverbs 20:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse condemns dishonest measures and a false balance as an offense to the LORD. It uses external trade as a symbol for inner honesty and fair judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good. In Neville's terms, the outer world mirrors your inner weighing of life. The 'weights' you use to value people and events are your fixed beliefs about worth. When you measure truth by appearances, you betray the divine scale within. The true balance is not a merchant's tool but the steady state of I AM consciousness—your awareness that you are one with all truth. If you catch yourself calculating advantage or doubting another's integrity, revise that minute judgment until it yields a single standard: honesty. Picture the I AM within as a perfect balance that never errs; align every decision, word, and action with that weight. Practice imagining fair dealing as your natural state; feel it real in your chest as conviction. As you hold that inner scale steady, your circumstances shift to reflect integrity.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and affirm: I am the I AM, the true balance within me. Revise any belief of cheating or unfair advantage until your inner scale rests in truth.
