Inner Lending, Outer Grace

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses translate into a psychology of prosperity. In Neville's terms, you are not managing money; you are managing states of consciousness. Lend to the poor not as a transaction, but as a decision of the I AM to embody abundance. The poor are a condition within you that fears lack; when you refuse usury and honor the pledge, you declare that the inner energy flows freely and equals are created by consciousness, not by chance. The sun going down and the garment returned symbolize the discipline of keeping your mental word before the day ends. When the neighbor cries, it is the I AM that answers; not by external alms alone, but by aligning your inner state with mercy and justice. So adjust your mind: assume you already possess enough to meet every genuine need; revise any sense of debt or scarcity; feel the reality of the pledge fulfilled in you, and let that feeling radiate outward. If you practice this, you will notice your outer world reflecting grace, because you are not lending from scarcity but from the inexhaustible source that you are.
