Inner Fear Begets Wisdom
Proverbs 9:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that the fear of the LORD is the starting point of wisdom. Knowing the holy leads to true understanding.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's lens, the 'fear of the LORD' is not a threat to be avoided but a state of awakened attention to the I AM within. It is the first movement of consciousness that births wisdom. The LORD is your inner I AM, the infinite awareness by which you are. When you return to that sacred posture, thoughts align with truth and discernment rises. The 'knowledge of the holy' becomes the inner realization that holiness is a state you can inhabit; understanding arises as your faculties are yoked to that holy order. Remember: places are inner dispositions and events are inner movements. Choosing to dwell in the holy is the beginning of wisdom, not obedience to external dogma. Persist in imagining yourself as the source of wisdom, and your mind curates perceptions, feelings, and choices to reflect that holy state. As you practice, you will observe your world shifting to confirm your inner alignment, bringing clarity, guidance, and a living sense of understanding. This is the way revelation comes: you revise the inner state, and the outer becomes intelligible.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the I AM, the source of wisdom. Feel the reverent awareness settle in, and watch understanding rise in your inner world.
