Inner Prosperity, Outer Mirage

Neville's Inner Vision

Envy arises when I look outward and measure life by appearances. Yet the inner law reveals that you are the I AM, the conscious sense that feels, imagines, and moves. The prosperity of the wicked in these lines is a picture of a mind clinging to outer form--wealth, strength, safety--while ignoring the unseen currents of life within. As long as you identify with a surface scenario, you will seem to be at the mercy of circumstance. But there are no bands in their death only in the sense that the old identity is not truly alive; their strength appears firm because you mistake it for being who you are. The truth is you are the one who gives life to every event by your inner state. To revise, assume you are already prospered in the I AM, feel your wealth as peace, security as awareness, and let imagination confirm this inner abundance until it becomes your outward experience.
