Amos 8:5 Inner Market Insight

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos 8:5 speaks of a people whose worship is weaponized for gain. In the Neville lens, this is a matter of inner state, not calendar labor. They suppose scarcity governs life, so the new moon and the sabbath become openings to cheat the measure, to squeeze more corn while making the ephah small and the shekel great. The outer economy mirrors an inner accounting: deceitful weights are but the mind’s calculation when it forgets the I AM as its sole reality. To change it, you must revise the premise from lack to fullness. Assume the I AM is the living balance, the sole measure by which all accounts are kept. When you dwell in that awareness, you feel abundance and recognize others as extensions of your own life. Your thoughts become fair weights; your actions align with truth. The law of consciousness converts ritual into honest living; the festival becomes a true communion, not a mask. If you practice this, the new moon of your mind ends, and a just, generous world follows from the certainty of your I AM.
