Biblical Context
Wisdom dwells with prudence and uncovers knowledge of witty inventions.
Neville's Inner Vision
Proverbs 8:12 speaks in the I AM of the soul: I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. In Neville's cosmology, wisdom is not a memory or a thing outside you; it is the state of consciousness in which you abide. When you rest in the awareness that prudence is your native air, you invite the mind to reveal its hidden workings—the witty inventions that solve problems, birth new forms, and arrange events in your favor. The I AM, your innermost watcher, attends to discernment, and as you hold this quiet, prudent attention, you notice ideas come forth like sparks from an inner furnace. The external world becomes a projection of inner alignment: conflicts soften, opportunities appear, and the right conditions unfold not by force but by the trust that you are the one who imagines. The verse invites you to stop seeking wisdom from far away and to cultivate the inner relationship between awareness (I) and its prudent friend (prudence). In that companionship, invention is simply the byproduct of staying conscious as the doer of your life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, I am Wisdom dwelling with prudence; feel the certainty that inventive knowledge already lives inside me. Then revise a current problem by mentally seeing the solution appearing as if it is a natural fruit of this inner state.
