Proverbs 15:27 - Inner Gift And Gain

Neville's Inner Vision

The proverb invites us to see money not as a mere commodity but as a state of consciousness. Greed of gain is a posture of lack, a belief that life is scarce and must be wrested through toil. When you inhabit that state, your inner house becomes unsettled: fear governs choices, family harmony frays, and the outer world mirrors the inner scarcity. Conversely, to hate gifts is to refuse Life’s generous energy—the very influx of opportunity, help, and abundance that flows when you are open. Living, in Neville terms, is living in the awareness of the I AM, where imagination is causative and you are already the state you desire. If you revise your assumption to embody abundance, your inner atmosphere shifts; the home quiets, decisions become clear, and prosperity follows as a natural reflection. The gift is not bribery but an invitation to trust the Life that sustains you. Welcoming it makes you live more fully, not less, because you align with the creative consciousness you truly are.
