Inner Merchants of Wealth

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard approach, the verse is not about distant geography but about your inner economy. Arabia and Kedar stand for facets of the mind—the deserts of habit, the inner markets where belief and imagination barter for sense-impressions. The livestock—lambs, rams, and goats—are living symbols of vitality, ideas, and productive forces you permit to exist in your awareness. When you read Tyre’s merchants as your own inner merchants, you see that wealth is not a coin or land granted from without, but a state of consciousness you maintain. By choosing to identify with the I AM and to feel abundance as already yours, you reverse the exchange: you no longer chase provision outside, you cultivate inner trust and authorize a continuous flow from within. As you linger in this realignment, the outer world follows, for all trade occurs in imagination, and imagination is the true marketplace of your reality.
