Wealth by Labor, Not Vanity

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective, this proverb speaks to states of consciousness, not bank balances. Vanity-wealth signals a mind split from the I AM, a grasping that drains itself as soon as fear recedes. The one who gathers by labour embodies inner harmony with Providence: steady effort, honest action, and the unshakable belief that supply flows from the I AM within. When you assume abundance as already yours and feel it as real in your chest, the outer circumstances follow that inner conviction. Vanity wealth withers because it is built on separation; true increase comes from a mind aligned with the source and a heartbeat of authentic work. The practice is simple: dwell in the feeling of being the gatherer, revise any lack-based thought, and let imagination cast the image of continued provision. The result is not mere money, but a coherent life where effort and faith meet.
