Casting Out the Scorner
Proverbs 22:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Cast out the scorner described in Proverbs 22:10, and contention goes out with it. When the inner climate changes, strife and reproach cease.
Neville's Inner Vision
Proverbs 22:10 speaks of a removal, but not of a distant decree; it is a removal of a state from your own consciousness. The scorner is a pattern of judgment you hold against life and others; when you make it a fixed position of identity, you invite contention into your day. In Neville's terms, places are inner dispositions and events are inward movements. Cast out the scorner, and your mind is no longer occupied by condemnation; as you withdraw attention from fault-finding, the internal atmosphere clears. Your I AM, the divine awareness within, sees through appearances and chooses unity over separation. When you imagine a circle of harmonious life, you are not changing people; you are changing the conditions of your inner world, and the outer scene follows. The quarrels dissolve because you have severed the habit of reproach from your sense of self. The moment you assume I AM peace instead of the accuser, you awaken to the truth that you are one with the harmony you seek. This is the art of inner governance, not outer enforcement.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and declare I AM peace, casting out the inner scorner; visualize the room clearing and feel the new unity in your heart.
