Inner Wisdom and Discretion

Proverbs 5:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 5 in context

Scripture Focus

1My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
2That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
Proverbs 5:1-2

Biblical Context

The verse invites you to listen to inner wisdom and let discretion govern what you say. It links attentive hearing with truthful, guarded speech that aligns with inner understanding.

Neville's Inner Vision

Suppose you are the I AM, the awareness beneath every thought. The instruction of Proverbs 5:1-2 becomes a call to listen to wisdom within and to train your imagination to act from that light. When you attend unto understanding, you are not chasing cleverness but aligning with the quiet, steady flame of consciousness. Discretion arises as the natural mood of your inner self, a discernment that refuses to utter words contrary to the knowledge you already hold. Your lips keeping knowledge means your speech flows from inner conviction rather than fear, vanity, or impulse. See the son as your ordinary self kneeling to the silent mentor within, hearing, then revising your inner dialogue accordingly. Picture yourself practicing daily revision—imagining you already possess the discernment you seek and speaking from that place—and feel the confidence of that inner tone radiate outward. As you persist, the outer world will reflect the inward discipline, and your life will become the living expression of discreet, knowledge-based imagination at work.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and imagine the inner mentor whispering wisdom to you. Then revise your next spoken sentence to reflect that discernment, and feel it real as though it were already true.
