Wordless Correction of the Self
Proverbs 29:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 29 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A servant will not be corrected by words. Even when he understands, he will not answer.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the listener, the 'servant' is a state of habitual obedience within you. Words are outer arguments; correction that never changes the inner posture means the inner state resists, because you have not yet consented to the new feeling of being corrected. When the verse says 'though he understand he will not answer,' it signals that understanding without inner alignment remains mere noise to the I AM. The true correction is not in changing the mouth but in changing the consciousness that gives rise to the mouth. You are not spoken to by the world; you are spoken to by your own I AM; you correct yourself by assuming the new state and by imagining that inner law has already moved. By seat-of-consciousness, you enact a revision: you feel yourself in the state where correction has already occurred, and your outer response will reflect that inner shift. Practice is the felt sense of the I AM moving through you, not a debate but a quiet conversion.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, with a soft inner voice, declare: I am the I AM; this state receives correction and moves in silent obedience. In that quiet, your next spoken response will be the silence that proves the inner shift.
