Let Strife Pass, Seek Inner Peace
Proverbs 26:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns against interfering in matters that do not belong to you; such meddling is like grabbing a dog by the ears. It cautions against stepping into another's quarrel and points to the inner habit of choosing detachment.
Neville's Inner Vision
To pass by and meddle is not a mere social fault; it is an inner misreading of who you are. The dog you seize stands for the restless, noisy thoughts that arise when you mistake another's drama for your own reality. When you meddle, you join the animal's struggle and scatter your own serenity into the noise. The I AM—the real you—remains untouched by such strife and observes without judgment. Your true power does not force another to change; it re-creates your world by refusing to feed the disturbance. Begin from the assumption that you are the watcher, the constant awareness that can imagine a peaceful outcome while others dispute. By feeling the calm you desire as already real, you dissolve the impulse to interfere and allow events to revert to order in their own way. Remember: inner quiet is your creative force; meddling is merely a misused vibration that weakens your hold on your own life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and repeat: I pass by strife not mine and feel the peace I desire as already mine. If stray thoughts arise, revise them by affirming I am the I AM observing, not entangled.
