Inner Appetite and Living Bread

Proverbs 6:26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 6 in context

Scripture Focus

26For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
Proverbs 6:26

Biblical Context

The verse warns that pursuing cheap, external appetites drains life to a mere subsistence, while the adulteress represents a mindset that hunts vitality rather than affirming inner life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the whorish woman not as a person, but as a state of consciousness that pretends to feed you while stealing your aliveness. The line tells you that when you yield to a cheap, external 'bread'—a substitute for real life—you gain nothing but a diminished sense of self. Your true bread is the living, inner Life—the I AM that absorbs every image into reality. The 'adulteress' is the persistent drift of restless thoughts toward sensation and scarcity, which constrains the living power within you, turning vitality into mere survival. If you watch imagination as the executive power of your being, you can reverse this dynamic: assume that you already possess the life you seek, imply abundance, and see every desire as a sign of your deep, inner supply. The moment you fix in mind that you are the I AM and that the world is your dream, you cease feeding the counterfeit, and your life expands to the fullness of its divine intention.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and revise the scene in your mind: I AM the Bread of Life within; I already possess all I need. Feel that abundance as real, right now.
