Inner Listening to Wise Words
Proverbs 22:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Bow your ear to the wise and let their words settle into your heart. This is more than hearing; it is an inward alignment with knowledge.
Neville's Inner Vision
Bow down thine ear is an invitation to a deliberate inner posture. It asks you to suspend competitive thinking and listen to the wise within as if there is a living teacher inside. The words of the wise are the quiet impressions of your higher self when you hold a question in mind and refuse the impulse to prove the old thought right. When you apply thy heart unto my knowledge, you are not loading the mind with more information but inviting a shift of vibration—an inner revision where the new understanding feels true in your heart. In this light, the Neville method becomes simple: assume that the suggested wisdom is already present within your true self, revise any disbelief with the feeling that the knowledge has taken root, and feel it real as if the truth stands now. The outer world then reconfigures to reflect that inner state. The verse thus becomes a practical invitation to dwell in a new consciousness, where attentive listening births a transformed life.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, bow the ear inward, and declare I hear the wise within and I am that wisdom now. Rest in the feeling of already knowing the knowledge as your present state.
