Inner Defense: Wisdom and Wealth

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner scripture, you are shown two forms of defense: wisdom as a posture of awareness and money as a symbol of provisioning. The inheritance is the conditioning of your mind—habits of thought that you carry as the ground of your being. When you awaken to the sun—the light of consciousness—you see that both wisdom and money guard you in their own ways, but neither can grant life except as you align with the living I AM. The ‘excellency of knowledge’ is the living vitality that follows from true knowing: a life that is felt, not merely secured. So, the verse invites you to shift from seeking defense in externals to assuming the inner reality of wisdom as your constant state. When you dwell there, wisdom becomes your shield and guide, while money mirrors the security established in awareness. Real security is not possession but the immediacy of life that knowledge bestows, a life that flows when you stand in the truth of I AM.
