Inner Wealth, Eternal Life

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville’s lens, the ruler’s wealth is not coins but a stubborn state of consciousness, a fortress built on fear and security in form. Jesus challenges the man to recognize that goodness comes from the I AM within, not from outward rule-keeping. The command to sell all is a practical revision, a turning from dependence on material identity to dependence on divine presence. When you “sell,” you shed the belief that your life consists of possessions; you consent to follow the inner invitation, which is to live from treasure in heaven—treasure found in unity with God’s being. The sorrow of the rich man shows how reluctant the old self is to surrender; the camel through the needle’s eye illustrates that the fixed self cannot pass into the kingdom unless your vision is opened to God’s possibility. The promise—that things impossible with men are possible with God—points to the imagination’s power to convert lack into abundance, fear into faith, and time into timeless awareness.
