Inner Truths Behind Deceit

Proverbs 26:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 26 in context

Scripture Focus

23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
Proverbs 26:23-24

Biblical Context

The verse says deceitful lips reveal an inner wicked state; outward glitter on a potsherd masks the true disposition. It shows that what we say exposes what we believe and feel inside.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ask yourself: who is speaking when your lips utter words that do not match your heart? In Proverbs, the burning lips and the wicked heart are but a potsherd beneath silver dross—a gleam on the outside that hides inner rot. In Neville's psychology, such a scene is a state of consciousness rather than a crime in action. The lips reflect an inner disposition that hates vulnerability, that disassembles with ease while stocking deceit within. You are not condemned for this; you are invited to shift your inner state until your speech is the natural expression of your I AM. The inner fact remains unchanged when you remember who you really are: awareness, the I AM, the unconditioned witness. By assuming a new state—true, pure, and transparent—you revise your story and the outward movement follows. The feeling of truth is not distant; it is the reality you already are. So observe, refuse to identify with the deceit, and persist in the conviction that your inner life governs every word you speak.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state of transparent honesty. Say to your inner I AM, 'I am truth in expression,' and feel it circulating into your words.
