Wisdom Beside The City Gates

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader of Neville Goddard's school, this verse is not about an external person but a call of your I AM awareness standing in the high places of consciousness. Wisdom does not wait at a distance; it resides at the topmost states of your mind and at every door you encounter. When you imagine yourself at the gates—the decisions, the meetings, the beginnings—you invite Wisdom to guide your inner movements. The cry at the city entrance is your inner feeling of truth speaking through you, the clarity that cuts through fear and confusion. By assuming you already are the authority who sees rightly, you align your present experience with Truth. The verse teaches that Wisdom is not shy; it proclaims in the public square because your inner life must be seen and heard to transform without outside conditions. As you dwell in the sense of I AM awareness, the outer world becomes a reflection of that inner discernment; choices loosen, paths clear, and promises align with faithful action.
