Inner Scales of Amos 8:5-6

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse is a map of your inner market. When you cry, 'When will the new moon be gone?' you are asking to erase the cycle of justice so you can profit. The small ephah and the inflated shekel are the two sides of your inner balance sheet: you shrink measure when you seek advantage, you inflate value when you fear want. Falsifying the balances by deceit is but a minor arcana of the same old belief that you are separate from the total supply. The I AM, your true self, is the steady balance beam—constant while your thoughts wobble. To buy the poor for silver is to treat your neighbor as collateral; to sell the refuse of the wheat is to pretend generosity belongs elsewhere. The cure is inward: assume a state of just abundance, where every exchange is an honest reflection of value, and you see others as part of your own provision. I AM abundance, and through that inner state the outer world aligns to fair weights.
