Biblical Context
Proverbs 3:16-18 presents wisdom as a life-giving force: long days, riches, and honor flow to one who embraces her, while her ways are pleasant and peaceful. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your life is not moving toward wealth and peace; you are choosing the state that creates them. In Proverbs 3:16-18, wisdom is the inner tree of life whose fruits are determined by your inner state. The right hand signifies the active I AM—awareness that declares, I am well and provided for. The left hand signals the fruit of that state—honor and material sufficiency—emerging from inner order. When you lay hold on wisdom, you stop chasing wisdom as a distant virtue and begin living from the consciousness that already contains it. Her ways are pleasant and her paths are peace because they spring from an inner order that mirrors the tree of life you inhabit. The tree thrives wherever you plant your attention in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and you become happy to retain her, for retaining wisdom is the key to your lifework.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare I AM wisdom embodied now; envision the tree of life growing within you, and feel long days, honored prosperity, and peaceful paths as your present reality.
