Wisdom Cries from the Gates
Proverbs 8:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Wisdom is personified as a voice that cries out from the heights and at the gates of life. The passage invites you to recognize discernment as an inner resource available where choices are made.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this brief oracle, you hear the cry of wisdom not as a distant fact but as a call arising in your own I AM. Wisdom stands where choices are made—the top of high places, the crossways of paths, the gates of decision—inviting you to awaken to the reality you intend. In Neville’s method, you are not waiting for wisdom to come from outside; you are the consciousness that speaks. The 'voice' is the living sense of understanding that answers from within, and the gates are the thresholds of your daily life where belief becomes form. When you cultivate the feeling that you already possess the discernment you seek, you revise your state until the outer world aligns with your inner insight. The cry of wisdom is a summons to dwell in a new self-identity, one that acts with conscience, truth, and faithfulness, trusting that the inner movement of awareness shapes events, not the other way around. So, attend to the inner voice in your decisions, and let your imagination repeatedly rest in the assured existence of wise outcomes, and you will find your life opening at every gate.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of wisdom now: silently affirm, 'I am wise in this moment.' Then, in a quiet visualization, see the gates of your life parting to reveal clear paths aligned with inner understanding.
