Inner Profit Beyond Labor

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the question is not about the sweat of the brow but about the state of consciousness that backs that sweat. There is no profit in the outer world apart from the inner image you hold. What you call work is but the stage on which your inner I AM acts. The sense of real return is found in your realization of being the source of all your supply, and in the conviction that imagination fashions form. If you insist the world prove your worth through labor, you dwell in lack; if you accept that you are the ruler of your inner kingdom, your labor becomes a natural expression of inner abundance. The 'labour' is the movement of your mind, and the 'wherein' is the belief you keep about yourself. By revising that belief—through steady assumption, heartfelt feeling, and a vivid imagination—you discover that the true return is the inner joy and steady confidence that precede any deed.
