Inner Gardens of Wealth

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the speaker as a symbol of your own I AM testing the field of awareness. The moment he says he would drink wine, yet keeps his heart in touch with wisdom, is a lived instruction: you may sample desire, but you do not surrender your inner lens to it. In Neville’s sense, the outer acts—great works, houses, vineyards, gardens, pools—are projections of the inner state you cultivate. To plant trees in your inner garden is to establish the possibility of fruit in your life, to lay out a mental water system is to ensure your energy supports that which you affirm. As you tend these inner landscapes, your life’s days are not spent blindly under the heaven, but directed by the vision you hold in mind. When you align the craving and the wisdom, you produce a harmony in consciousness that manifests as competent provision and orderly flourishing. The building, the watering, the fruiting garden are not separate tasks; they are all the activity of your awareness, demonstrating that imagination creates reality and you are the creator of your world.
