Neville Goddard on Proverbs 30:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Proverbs 30 in context

Scripture Focus

13There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

Proverbs 30:13

Biblical Context

The verse points to a generation whose eyes are lifted in pride, a symbolic posture of self-importance that distances one from humility.

Neville's Inner Vision

Proverbs 30:13 speaks of a generation with eyes lifted in arrogance. In Neville's inner view, the loftiness is a state of consciousness, not a crowd’s pose. The eyes and eyelids symbolize a mind that flatters its separate self, forgets the I AM, and treats appearances as absolute fact. You are not observing others from outside; you are naming your own inner disposition. The remedy is to revise the state by inner assumption: inhabit a center of awareness where you know yourself as the I AM, perfectly included in divine life. When pride arises, imagine it dissolving into calm, inclusive attention that sees all as expressions of one consciousness. Whisper the living truth: 'I am that I AM; the whole of creation is known and cherished by the I AM.' Persist in this revised state and the outer scene follows, revealing humility, cooperation, and a renewed sense of worth in every heart.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of inner nobility that needs no boast. Sit quietly, declare 'I am the I AM,' and imagine your pride dissolving as you see others' equal worth.
