Greed's Net of the I Am
Proverbs 1:17-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Greed is a net that traps the greedy and harms them; the passage shows that pursuing gain drains the life of the owner.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the verse as a lesson in the psychology of desire. The birds represent your awareness, and the net is a habitual belief that life and supply must be hunted outside of you. As long as you identify with a 'greedy' state, you lay traps for your own blood, your energy and life. The 'ways of every one that is greedy of gain' are simply worn paths of lack in your consciousness; they do not threaten the I Am, the true you. The I Am is the realm of presence where wealth is already yours. When you imagine that you are wealthy, you are not chasing wealth; you are recognizing wealth as a present state of consciousness. The inner net dissolves when you revise the assumption: life and provision are within, not outside. The law operates: imagination creates reality, and your outer world follows your inner vision. See that the greed is a signal to return to the I Am and dwell there until it feels natural.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the state 'I am wealthy now' until it feels real; revise greed by living from the conviction that the life I seek already exists in consciousness.
