Inner Wisdom and Self-Burden

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville Goddard’s language of states of consciousness, Proverbs 9:12 teaches that wisdom is an inner condition you enter, not a distant rule. If thou be wise, thou art wise for thyself, because wisdom is the atmosphere you inhabit in the I AM that you truly are. When you align your imagination with the conviction 'I am the wise observer of my life,' the outer events bend to that inward constant. Conversely, if you scorn this inner counsel—dismiss it, mock it, or deny it—your burden is not laid on some external target but is carried within your own memory of choice, a friction born from resisting your true state. The moment you accept responsibility for the cadence of your thoughts and decisions, you release the weight by simply re-entering the right state. See yourself as the one who gathers the consequences of your inner setting, choosing to be wise, and thus becoming the architect of your experience. Your inner world creates the outer you; your “bearing” is the proof of your consciousness.
