The Inner End Of Legacy

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the line not as condemnation of wealth but as a mirror for consciousness. A man's house and months are outer effects of an inner state. What he calls pleasure after him is the memory of his assumption—an inner posture that imagines time and possession as lasting. In Neville's terms, time is a belief, and the 'months' are the supposed limit of a mental attachment. If you want to outlive that limit, you must shift the root belief. The true pleasure that outlasts 'him' is the I AM, the self that never dies; as you dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM behind all forms, your external world rearranges to reflect that enduring sense. The verse invites you to cancel the idea that the house, wealth, or family carry lasting security; instead, rest in the realization that your life is the expression of your inner state, which is timeless. Practice this: assume you are already the I AM, possessing all that truly matters, and feel the reality of that assumption in your chest and breath.
