Wisdom as Sister, Inner Guard
Proverbs 7:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse invites you to call Wisdom your sister and Understanding your kin. Their presence guards you from the flattering stranger.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the I AM that you are, Wisdom stands as a sister and Understanding as kin, not distant virtues but living dispositions you can call forth now. When you consciously acknowledge their presence, you quiet the lure of the flattering stranger and the impulses that would lead you away from integrity. The 'strange woman' is not a person but a state of distraction; the remedy is to identify with the inner guardians you already are. Your mind, steadied by this sisterly protection, chooses purity, obedience, and truthful living over mere appearance. This is a practice of revision: you revise your self-image until it includes these inner relatives as permanent structures of consciousness, and you feel them as real as any outer circumstance. As you dwell there, you awaken to your true nature—unapologetically aware, trusted by your own discernment, and steadfast in alignment with your ideal.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and repeat the affirmation until you feel the sisterly presence. Then imagine Wisdom and Understanding surrounding you as a protective mantle guiding every choice today.
