Wealth as Inner Perfection

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the man asked what he lacks and the invitation is not to add more but to become more. In Neville’s terms, Jesus points to a shift in state. The wealth he loves is not simply gold but a stubborn identification with possession—an inner security that says, 'I am only as rich as what I own.' To be perfect, then, is to revise that state. Sell that which you cling to not as a transaction, but as a letting go of a mental image—give to the poor as a symbol of your release from scarcity, and you shall find a different currency forming in your inner treasury. The call to follow me is an invitation to follow your I AM, the awareness that never lacks, never fears, and can supply through your own inner movement of attention. When you align with that consciousness, the ‘treasure in heaven’ is not elsewhere; it is your present sense of fullness, independent of external possessions. Your task is to practice the assumption that you are already the one who lives by that abundance, and feel it real in this moment.
