Gate of the Wise Manifestation
Proverbs 24:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Wisdom is inaccessible to the fool, who keeps his mouth closed at the gate. True discernment resides in a higher state of consciousness, not in the ego.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this line the gate marks the seat where choice and speech are formed within the mind. The fool, bound to fear and habit, cannot permit true wisdom to speak; he remains outside the inner circle, his mouth shut by identification with a lesser self. Yet wisdom is a high state of consciousness I AM aware of and can enter now. When I align my feeling with that higher self, the inner court opens and my words carry the weight of truth, not vanity. I am not ruled by the outward gate but by the inner gate—the place where imagination and perception converge. As I refuse to bargain with limitation and revise my image from ignorance, the wise nature within me steps forth, and events respond as if whispered by an inner magistrate. The world does not demand change from me; I must change my assumption of who I am to let wisdom speak through me.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the state 'I AM WISE,' and feel it as real now. Let your next thought and spoken word rise from that quiet gate within.
