Sitting With The Inner Ruler
Proverbs 23:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It advises you to be mindful when you sit with a ruler, watching what you feed your mind. It calls for discernment about what you allow into your awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Proverbs 23:1 invites us to dine with authority and to watch what we feed upon in that moment. In Neville’s voice, the ruler is not a person outside you but a state of consciousness—the I AM that governs what you accept into your awareness. When you sit at that table, the scene asks you to examine not the banquet alone but the pictures, motives, and appetites you allow to take form. If you crave approval or fear judgment, you are eating the wrong thing; you must choose the sustenance of clarity, discernment, and steady presence. The I AM observes without struggle. By assuming the state I AM alert, I AM wise, I govern my inner scenes, you release the habit of reacting to appearances and align with the truth that imagination creates reality. Practice this by returning to the feeling of being supported by inner law, revise any tense scene, and feel the chair of inner authority as yours. The Presence of God—your I AM—is here, guiding every choice in the moment of apparent dining.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In the next moment you sit with authority, close your eyes and declare I AM the observer and governor of my inner table. Then revise the scene to reflect calm discernment, and feel the alignment as real.
