Inner Name, Shared Ground
Proverbs 22:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A good name and loving favor matter more than riches; wealth is secondary to divine alignment. The verse also affirms that rich and poor are governed by the same maker.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within these lines you are invited to discover that value is a state, not a coin. The good name you seek is a condition of consciousness you deliberately imagine into form, a quiet assurance that you are seen, trusted, and aligned with grace. Loving favor is the atmosphere you carry—an inner recognition that you are supported by the I AM that makes all. Wealth or poverty pale beside this truth when you remember the LORD is the maker of them all; every role you observe is a manifestation of one divine source. So you do not gain favor by pleasing the world, you assume the world is already shaped by your assumed nobility. If you entertain the feeling, 'I am the name respected by life; I am the favor that flows through all my days,' you will find circumstances reflecting that inner image. Practice returning to that assumption until it feels like waking, for imagination is the master of reality and God, the I AM, is the actor behind every scene.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, repeat 'I am the name others admire; I am the favor that flows through all my days,' and feel as if you already live from this noble inner state.
