Inner Walls of Self-Mastery
Proverbs 25:28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 25 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Without mastery over your own spirit, your inner state becomes vulnerable and chaotic. When you rule your thoughts and feelings, you create a stable, protected inner city.
Neville's Inner Vision
Proverbs 25:28 speaks of the ruler within you—the I AM that governs your consciousness. When you permit restless thoughts, fear, or impulse to roam, your inner city loses its gates and walls, and you become a spectator to circumstance. The I AM must stand as sovereign, and the walls you build are the boundaries of attention and the vivid image you hold as true. By a steady, definite assumption—'I am at peace, I am guided, I am in control'—you reinforce that inner state until it feels like fact. Imagination becomes your architect: thoughts, feelings, and scenes align with the one ruling state, and the outer world finally mirrors the crowned city you have chosen to inhabit. The process is not effort but recognition: you are not changing the world; you are recognizing the world you have already assumed in consciousness. The wall strengthens as you feel-it-real the state, and disorder yields to order.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling that you rule your mind now; visualize walls rising around your inner city and linger with that feeling until it is your lived sense.
