Inner Wealth Versus Worldly Gain

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's ear, the world is not a distant market but a reflection of your inner state. The 'world' represents outward success, possessions, and appearances that you have imagined as your life. If you say, 'I have wealth,' yet your feeling of I AM is unsettled, you have traded your soul for temporary glitter. The soul, or true self, is not a thing to be possessed; it is awareness—the I AM that endures. The moment you set up image after image of possession, you are imagining the exchange, and the price you pay is quiet, centered presence. The remedy is not to renounce wealth but to reframe it: see the world as a mirror in which your inner wealth is made visible. When you assume the feeling of the I AM as the source and sustainer, you stop chasing outer gains and begin living as the living possibility of your soul. Your profit becomes wholeness, continuity, and the quiet assurance that you are the wealth you seek.
