Departed Riches of the Soul

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the words of Revelation speak to the state of your consciousness, not to external things. The fruits your soul lusts after are not external treasures to possess; they are the movements of longing within you. When you cling to dainty comforts as if they were your life, you conjure a future in which they exist apart from you, and so you experience their departure. Neville teaches that the I AM—the consciousness you are—can revise the scene. If you acknowledge, right now, that you are already full, that the inner supply is your true currency, then the appetite for outward riches relaxes. The moment you feel the reality of inner abundance, the resistant craving loosens and the very things you sought fall away, no longer ruling your life. The departure is an inner shift: you stop defining yourself by what you want and awaken to what you already are, the living, observing presence that contains all. In that awakening, the no more of the verse becomes a gift—a clearing space for the divine favorable impression to unfold in your imagination.
