Seeing Through Fair Speech
Proverbs 26:25-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Outward assurances can conceal inner motives; deceit hides hatred, and the truth of the heart will eventually be revealed.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, your world is a dream of your consciousness. When one speaks kindly, do not suppose the gesture is the whole truth; the mind may harbor hidden motives that masquerade as friendliness. This is not about judging the other, but about waking within your own I AM to the patterns of thought you entertain. Words are signals, not the substance; the substance is the state of your being. By recognizing that surface speech can mask a distrustful or deceitful inner state, you are invited to shift your own state. Assume the inner truth that all relations are reflections of your I AM, and that you are capable of perceiving the real motive behind words. As you persist in this inner discernment, your inner conviction aligns with integrity, and the outer appearance begins to mirror that truth. The hidden hatred that once hid behind deceit falls away, and honesty becomes your natural atmosphere. You are not at the mercy of appearances; you are the sovereign observer who reimagines reality from the I AM within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In a calm moment, close your eyes and declare, 'I now know the true motive behind these words.' Feel the certainty of your inner eye discerning the truth and let that realization gently reframe your perception in the world.
