The Snare Of Your Words
Proverbs 6:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns that your own words can trap you; you are shaped by what you say, so mind your speech to avoid negative outcomes.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your entire life, and the manner in which you speak, is a mirror of your inner state. When Proverbs 6:2 says you are snared with the words of thy mouth, it reveals that spoken words are not mere sound but acts of consciousness—imprints placed upon the subconscious that invite corresponding conditions. The trap is subtle: you assume through your words a state you are not yet free to claim, and the outer world becomes a stage for that assumption. To escape, shift the state behind the words: adopt a new identity grounded in truth and faithfulness, and speak from that inner conviction. In Neville's method, you revise from the inside, not by arguing with others but by feeling the desired state as already real. The feeling of the I AM quietly asserts: I am free; I am aligned with divine truth; therefore the old phrases fall away and new possibilities present themselves. Persist in this inner turn, and the outward circumstances will reflect the inner grown state that refuses to be trapped by negative repetition.
Practice This Now
Pause before speaking, close your eyes, and assume the feeling of the state you desire; declare quietly, 'I AM free from the snare of my words.' Repeat this revision daily until your talking aligns with inner truth.
