Inner Lending, Compassion Realized

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the command not as a law imposed by old scribes, but as a statement of your inner state. The 'people that are poor by thee' are the poverty of consciousness—scarcity thoughts, fear of not having enough. To lend without usury is to remove the price tag from abundance; it is you, in your I AM awareness, choosing to circulate blessing rather than to keep it in hoarded interest. When you refuse to lay upon others the burden of profit, you release the sense that wealth is scarce and separate from your heart. The act of generous lending allegorizes the law of give-and-receive: as you release attachment to gain, you set the entire system in motion, and the 'poor' return not as repayment of debt but as a renewed sense of wholeness within you. In this way, justice and mercy become your inner program, a steady practice that transforms your world into a field where all move together in harmony.
