Inner Merchants, Inner Wealth

Neville's Inner Vision

Revelation 18:15, taken through the Neville Goddard lens, is not about a physical city but about the inner economy of your soul. The merchants are your habits of mind that have grown rich by identifying with outer wealth—pictures, reputations, possessions. Their standing afar off signals the distance created by a consciousness that fears loss when the outer market trembles. The torment is the inner sting of believing you are made rich or poor by conditions outside you. When you recognize wealth as a state of consciousness—the I AM expressing as supply—the scene in your imagination shifts. You need not resist the judgment, but align with the truth that you are the merchant of your own inner kingdom. As you dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you revise the belief: I am the source of all abundance; the world is a reflection of my inner state, and fear dissolves when this realization takes root. The afar dissolves; the weeping ceases in favor of a quiet abundance, because the only market that truly matters is the I AM.
