The Inner Call of Wisdom
Proverbs 8:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Wisdom calls to all people, inviting you to turn your attention inward and listen. The 'man' and the 'sons of man' refer to your states of mind, which can hear or ignore the call.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here, the verse is not a distant preacher but your own inner state speaking. Wisdom calls to you, and its voice belongs to the I AM—the you that you are when you are fully present. The line 'Unto you, O men, I call' means the call arises in your consciousness, not from outside; the 'sons of man' are the various states you occupy. When you identify with lack, fear, or limitation, you mute the call; when you awaken to the truth that you are awareness itself, the call sounds as clarity, discernment, and direction. Neville would say your world is the image of your inner conviction; hearing the call requires a revision of self from absence to abundance, from doubt to faith, from confusion to certainty. Practice the feeling that Wisdom is already speaking through you, guiding choices, aligning circumstances, and revealing truth in the moment. Make the decision to inhabit that wiser mood now, and let Providence flow as your inner weather, until the outer life echoes your inner I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place your hand on your chest, and softly declare: 'I am the call and the wisdom within me now.' Feel the inner voice rise as certainty; repeat until it feels true.
