Inner Snare: Wisdom of Proverbs 22:25
Proverbs 22:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns against adopting another's wrathful ways, for such imitation becomes a snare to the soul. It points to inner discernment, not outward anger, as the path of true wisdom.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the I AM stands as the unmoved watcher. Lest thou learn his ways is not about other people so much as the habit of reacting as if the outer world dictates your inner state. When you identify with a heated pattern—judgment, retaliation, or mimicking another's venom—you empower a script that binds you to a cycle. Neville's practice invites you to revise by assuming a state of calm awareness, to imagine you are the sovereign of your inner theater, free to choose responses that reflect wisdom, mercy, and discernment. See the his ways as a projection of your own unresolved passions; by not learning them you become free from their snare. The moment you feel the impulse, stop and affirm: I am the I AM; I do not learn wrath, I learn stillness. The outer chaos dissolves as your inner alignment shifts, and circumstances bend to your inner state, loosening the snare's grip.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume the feeling: I AM calm and in control of my inner state. Imagine a moment when wrath surfaces; respond inwardly with discernment, and let that inner image shape your next real-life response.
