The passage links reverence for the divine with true understanding and promises longer, more assured days for those who choose wisdom over scorn.
Neville's Inner Vision
View Proverbs 9:10-12 through the lens of the I AM. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: not fear of punishment, but the turning of attention toward the holy within. The knowledge of the holy is understanding: when you recognize a sacred standard inside, your thoughts align and your inner calculations become clear. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased: by dwelling in that inner state, you invite a fuller, more vivid flow of time into your experience, because you no longer live by reactive scripts but by a steady, wise mood. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: this is self-authored causation—wisdom is an inner habit you cultivate; if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it: resistance to the living law returns as limitation. The passage invites you to acquaint yourself with a steadfast inner presence, the holy I AM, and to trust that your outer life mirrors that trust. The practice is to reside in that inner permission and let it govern your days.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the state, 'I AM wisdom governing my days'; when doubt arises, revise the scene to reflect this inner ruler and feel it real.
