The Inner Fall of Wealth
Revelation 18:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The merchants and sailors lament the loss of wealth that once sustained the city. In the verse, riches vanish in an hour, and those who traded stand afar.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this vision, wealth is not a pile of gold but a state of consciousness you wear. The great city clothed in linen and gold represents a mindset obsessed with external possession. When that mindset 'falls' and riches vanish, the moment is not punishment but a nudge to turn inward. God is I AM, the everlasting awareness that neither lacks nor fears. If you fear loss, you are treating money as the source of your life; yet wealth flows from your inner sense of sufficiency. The ships and merchants are images of your inner economy, your habits of thought that move you through life. In this hour of apparent famine, revise your self-conception: declare, I AM the abundance that never ends; I possess all riches as the perception that I am complete. Then feel the truth as real now—breath steady, attention calm, a sense of plenitude blooming from within. The hour passes, and you stand no longer among fear but in your new city of inner plenty.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume I AM as the only reality—fullness here and now. Breathe in, feel the inward wealth, and repeat 'I AM abundance' until the sense of lack dissolves.
