Luxury and Inner Compassion

Amos 6:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Amos 6 in context

Scripture Focus

6That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
Amos 6:6

Biblical Context

The verse contrasts indulgence in wine and perfume with a lack of concern for Joseph's affliction, highlighting a gap between outer abundance and inner mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, the wine and chief ointments symbolize a consciousness enthralled by the senses and appearances. The persons described are not grieved by the affliction of Joseph because they have identified with luxury rather than with the inner unity you call the I AM. Joseph represents the living presence of your own inner kin and its sufferings; neglecting him reveals a dream of separation. Remember: imagination creates reality. To awaken, shift your inner state from opulence of form to the mercy that arises from recognizing you are the I AM aware of all conditions. When you revise this scene in your mind, you do not abandon provision; you align provision with compassion, and outer circumstances reflect that alignment. The wealth you chase becomes a vehicle for the healing you extend to the inner Joseph, until your consciousness itself becomes the balm.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Joseph as your inner suffering, then affirm, 'I am the I AM,' feeling compassionate concern flow through you; revise the scene from luxury to mercy until the inner state becomes real.
