Haste to Riches, Inner Vision
Proverbs 28:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse cautions that rushing toward riches blinds discernment and overlooks the poverty that follows careless grasping. It points to a cause-and-effect inner state: poverty arises from misdirected desire, not from external luck.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the speaker who hurries to be rich, the 'evil eye' is not a mere glance but a stance of consciousness—every thought crowded with lack, every desire pressed upon by time. In Neville's phrase, wealth is not a heap of coins but the vibrational mood of being awake to abundance. When you hasten for riches, you fix your attention on the outside and fracture the oneness of the I AM. Poverty does not wait for the calendar; it is the inner weather you permit when you assume you lack what you seek. The remedy is to reverse the scene: dwell in the state that already possesses, feel the end in the now, and let your imagination operate as the creative instrument of your life. In that inner revision, you do not chase wealth; you invite it by remaining the eye that sees with calm, generous perception. The moment you accept your present supply as complete, the external world rearranges to match that inner decree.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in stillness, assume the state 'I AM wealth' and revise the scene to have your needs met now. Feel the end in your bones, then carry that feeling into your day.
