Inner Blessing for Parents
Proverbs 30:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 30 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 30:11 notes a generation that curses their father and does not bless their mother. It signals a pattern whose outward disrespect reflects an inward misalignment toward nurture and authority.
Neville's Inner Vision
Begin with the awareness that the line speaks not of strangers but of your own inner climate. The term 'generation' points to a recurring mental habit—disrespect or rejection of the parental energy that shapes you. To curse father and withhold blessing mother is to resist the very ordering of life that comes through lineage, responsibility, and care. In Neville's method, this outward conduct arises from an inner assumption: you are separate from the source of your good, and thus you withhold gratitude and alignment. The healing is to assume the opposite: that you are congruent with the I AM that fuses fatherly authority and motherly nurture into a coherent self. When you revisit memories and revise them with blessing—seeing the father as a directive, the mother as nourishment—you rewire the emotional premise that governs your actions. Practice the inner dialogue that proclaims, 'I bless my parents in my own consciousness, I am grateful for their gifts,' and feel that blessing assertively as your present state. The verse thus becomes a guide to reclaim harmony by changing the inner state, which manifests as loving conduct.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the feeling 'I bless my father and mother' as your current state; dwell in that blessing for a few breaths and let gratitude radiate through your day.
