Wise Companions, Inner Prosperity

Neville's Inner Vision

Feel the reality that you are the I AM, and your circle of friends is a circle of states of consciousness you willingly entertain. Walking with wise men is an inner alignment; you imagine a circle of wise presences—stable, compassionate, discerning—and you let their calm counsel govern your decisions. The 'evil' that pursues sinners is the inertia of unexamined thought; by identifying with wisdom you reverse the pull and draw good toward you. The inheritance mentioned is a living inner inheritance—your mental wealth, your disciplined habits, your righteous vision, which then manifests as outer provision. Abundance is found in the tillage of the poor when you bring clear judgment to your own mind; your inner measure determines what grows. The discipline of correction is love for the child within you, tenderly guiding without coercion. The righteous eat to the satisfaction of the soul; you feed your inner self with faith and imagination and your outer life follows suit.
