Quieting the Greedy Belly

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, this passage is not about a man in history but a state of consciousness—the 'greedy belly' is the insistence that life is measured by what one consumes. When the mind believes that security comes from abundance of goods and the next possession, the inner belly is never quiet. The verse shows that such a fixation cannot satisfy; what is saved or acquired is elsewhere consumed by fear, and what remains is not a blessing but a reminder of lack. Yet the inward law is at work: you are the I AM, the awareness that feels and imagines. If you identify with the oppressor, you are projecting a future where goods vanish and others lose interest, because the assumption has become your reality. To awaken, refuse that future; assume a state of sufficiency now. See yourself as the source of all you seek, and feel the quietness and fullness as your birthright, knowing your imagination is the power that shapes your world and its outcomes.
