The Inner Theft of Self

Neville's Inner Vision

To the student of consciousness, 'Neither shalt thou steal' is not a prohibition only about money, but a reclamation of inner property. Theft begins as a whisper of lack—an inner impulse to seize what you believe you do not possess. But the I AM, the awareness that you are, cannot be deprived; the whole universe exists as your interior state. When you feel you lack, you unknowingly try to borrow another’s wealth from the external world, reinforcing separation between you and the abundance you are. Your world reflects your present assumption: if you insist there is not enough, you create scarcity and may manifest the urge to take. The remedy is to revise that assumption, dwell in the feeling that you already possess all you desire, and act from integrity born of that conviction. In alignment, the impulse to steal dissolves and the outer scene shifts to reflect your inner abundance.
