Mammon and Inner Stewardship

Luke 16:9-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 16 in context

Scripture Focus

9And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
10He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Luke 16:9-13

Biblical Context

Jesus teaches that wealth is a tool, not a master, and faithful handling of small things prepares one for greater riches; you cannot serve both God and mammon.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the passage reveals that mammon is not a pile of coins but a state of consciousness that pretends to own you. The call to 'make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness' is an invitation to employ your imaginative power to convert the energy of wealth into relationships that echo everlasting habitations within you. When the text says 'he that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much,' it is your inner practice daily: attend to the little choices, the pennies of perception, the thoughts you nurture, and you are training your inner steward who will be trusted with 'true riches' when the outer appearances crack. 'No servant can serve two masters' speaks to the inner conflict between fear of shortage and faith in abundance. You cannot worship both; you must choose the I AM that guides your attention. The feeling is the key: when you relax into the sense that you are already rich in spiritual provision, the false scarcities dissolve and all things come to you as a natural extension of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume you are already faithful in the least; see money as a servant of your inner good and feel the proof of true riches entering your life as you extend trust to others.
