The Inner Dowry of Provision

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this is a parable of your inner market. The 'dowry' you name is not money but a sacrifice of an old belief, a willingness to exchange poverty for potential. In Neville's light, the verse says: the I AM is the buyer and seller of every state; you, the chooser, place a price upon your desires, yet the true price is your decision to inhabit the state as already real. The 'gifts' you offer signify the habits, stories, and fears you release in the exchange. The damsel to wife stands for the fulfilled state—your desire embodied, your consciousness married to the truth that you are not lacking but the source of all supply. The inner negotiation is constant: you declare, through feeling, what you will give and what you will receive. When you persist in the assumption that you already possess the state you seek, your inner disposition shifts from bargaining to embodiment. This is the heart of covenant loyalty: fidelity to your own I AM, not to external appearances. The verse invites you to practice generous inner exchange, letting your imagination do the work of provision.
