Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s psychology, this verse becomes a map of inner abundance. The gold and silver are not merely metals but states of consciousness—noble thoughts, generous impulses, and the energy you invest in your sacred work. Overlaying the walls with gold symbolizes keeping the outer life in alignment with an inner order. Wealth ceases to be a possession and becomes the flow of awareness you dwell in. When you inhabit the I AM, you discover that the temple you’re building—your body, your home, your endeavors—receives what your imagination consistently assumes. The reference to Ophir points to purity and elevated intention; the large quantities reveal the abundance available to a mind steadfast in its assumption. Thus this passage invites a decisive practice: assume first, feel it real, and let the external world reflect that inner architecture. You are the source; your imagination is the workshop; and the walls you gild with inner light become the foundation for every form your life takes. If you inhabit this generous posture, wealth shows up as natural, tangible expression of your abiding I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume, 'I am the source of all wealth now.' Feel the weight of gold and silver overlay your temple walls; dwell in that feeling until it becomes your ordinary state.
