The Denial in Proverbs 30:20
Proverbs 30:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 30 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse exposes the pattern of denial and self-justification after wrongdoing. It implies a habit of covering guilt with calm words.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 30:20, read as a mirror: the moment you yield to appetite and then declare you have done no wickedness, you are testifying to a consciousness that has yet to own truth. In Neville's key, the 'adulterous woman' is the split in your own awareness—one part consuming, another denying. The act is not a sexual allegory but the inner double mind that eats the impulse of life and wipes its mouth, insisting that nothing is wrong. Recognize that condemnation is itself a creation of mind; the I AM stands as the unshakeable you, the witness who does not lie to itself. When you feel the impulse to justify, revise it: you are not condemned; you are simply awakening to a higher alignment. Assume the state of integrity you desire, and allow the feeling of being immaculate to flood your consciousness. In that assumed state, the lie dissolves, and the ground of judgment dissolves with it. You are neither guilty nor innocent by external standards; you are the I AM learning to live in truth.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close eyes, and revise a thought of self-justification into a statement of I AM reality: 'I am the I AM, and I am pure now.' Feel that truth in your chest until it replaces the old doubt.
