Inner Wealth, Outer Doings

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as addressing your inner state, not a king’s history. The line 'By the strength of my hand I have done it' is the ego's confession, the I-know-it-all mindset that claims control and hoards perceived riches. The nest of treasures is the structure of your beliefs about wealth—habits, judgments, and plans that try to gather 'earth' from the world as if it were separate from you. When you identify with this self, you see power as conquest and scarcity as law; you move like a valiant man, yet you remain bound to limitation. The cure is simple: return to the I AM inside, and claim abundance as your natural state. See wealth not as a booty to accumulate, but as a movement of consciousness that flows when you stop acting from pride and start acting from recognition. In imagination, dwell in the sense that provision is already yours because you are the I AM who creates reality. Trust the unseen source within, revise every self-image that boasts and fears, and feel the earth’s riches as your inner atmosphere.
