Inner Discipline of Wisdom

Proverbs 23:12-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 23 in context

Scripture Focus

12Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Proverbs 23:12-14

Biblical Context

The passage urges you to listen deeply to instruction and knowledge, and to apply correction. Proper inner discipline is the means by which the soul is delivered from hell.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let Proverbs 23:12-14 be read as a map of your own inner life. Apply your heart to instruction and listen for the words of knowledge within, for you are not listening to a book but to your own I AM aware of truth. The correction is not a threat but a discipline of consciousness that prunes the wandering thoughts that would pull you into hellish states. When you beat the rod in your mind, you are choosing a firm act of revision: you refuse fear, you replace limitation with knowledge, you return to the state you are always in—the creator of your experience. Delivering the soul from hell means freeing yourself from imagined doom by aligning every impulse with the truth you already hold. Your imagination is the creative instrument; your state of consciousness is the material; and your feeling it real completes the work. See yourself already corrected, already wise, already whole, and therefore free. In that posture, the inner law works, and you awaken to the reality that you are the I AM here and now.

Practice This Now

Sit in quiet and picture the rod as a disciplined turn of attention; revise one stubborn thought by affirming 'I align with knowledge.' Feel the truth of your I AM as you sustain the assumption for several minutes.
