Humility's Inner Economy

Proverbs 29:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 29 in context

Scripture Focus

23A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
Proverbs 29:23-24

Biblical Context

Pride invites a fall, while humility and integrity uphold the soul. The verse warns that aligning with deceit harms the self.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your proud mind fashions a narrow prison of I and mine, and life mirrors that separation. A man who loves only his own cleverness will soon find his stature lowered by circumstances, for the cosmos answers the state you inhabit. But when you acknowledge the humility of the I AM—when you sense that true worth comes from being in harmony with the God within—you rise, not by denying power, but by elevating it to serve truth. The line about partnering with a thief is not about outer law alone; it is a warning to your inner allegiance. To partner with deceit inside the imagination is to hate your own soul and invite curses you do not expose. Rather, choose to disown every thought that acts as if you are separate from the stream of light that is your birthright. Stand in the knowing that you are the I AM, and your associations reflect that reality. The moment you revise that inner state, the world must rearrange to fit.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the feeling that 'I AM the humble ruler of my inner state.' Revise any sense of separation from truth and feel it real.
