Moth-Built Wealth, Inner Truth

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 27:18-19 speaks in symbols; the house built by the man is a moth's cocoon in the imagination, a fragile garment for a self that seeks security outside. In this reading, the rich man lies down not as a person in the grave, but as a state of consciousness that has ceased to identify with outer things; his 'being gathered' is the moment inner alignment occurs or not. When you listen from the I AM, you realize that all such structures—house, wealth, reputation—are appearances in the screen of mind, and their dissolution reveals your true, timeless nature. The event is an inner movement: fear or attachment gives form to policed possessions; letting go reveals that you are not the form but the awareness that witnesses it. Thus the apparent demise of wealth is merely the end of a mistaken identity. The call is to shift from dependence on externals to a felt realization of inner abundance, which cannot perish and is always present as your essential self.
