Inner Wisdom Proverbs 7:1-5

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Proverbs 7:1-5 as an instruction to domesticate your consciousness. The 'son' is your awareness; the 'words' and 'commandments' are the steady conditions you adopt in mind. When you bind them on your fingers and write them on your heart, you are rehearsing a state of attention in which the I AM governs perception, not the ever-shifting appearances. Say to wisdom, 'You are my sister,' and mean it as an alliance, a reliable inner counsel. Let understanding be your kinwoman, always present to remind you of what you already know in the depth of your being. This is how you stay from the strange woman—the flattery and quick sensations that lure you from your inner law. In this internal arrangement, temptation loses its power because your mental space is occupied by the commandments you have chosen as reality. When you imagine yourself living by these laws, you awaken the truth that you are already free, and your world follows the inevitable expression of that inner stance.
