Inner Wealth vs Outer Glory

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the verse speaks not of coins but of states of consciousness. For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away, and his glory shall not descend after him is a reminder that external wealth and outward praise are not durable: they are movements of the ego, shadows that fade. In Neville's method, what endures is the inner awareness you cultivate while alive. If you cling to riches or to self-glorifying deeds as your identity, you bless your soul with a borrowed light—praise earned from a world that cannot hold it. The true treasure is your sense of 'I AM'—the steady, unshakable awareness that you are complete here and now. When you choose to imagine prosperity as a fruit of that inner life, you do not seek applause; you simply radiate the energy of being. The moment you deactivate the appetite for external praise and rest in your inner truth, you discover the enduring wealth that cannot decay: a calm self-sufficiency, a glory of consciousness that shifts the world by its presence rather than by its vanity.
