Babylon's Opulence Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the 'great city' is not a place but a state of consciousness you entertain. The garments—fine linen, purple, scarlet—together with the gold, precious stones, and pearls, are symbols of an outer identity built on wealth and appearances. When you hear 'Alas, alas,' you are tuning into a belief that your security and worth depend on possessions rather than the I AM that you are. Neville would say: you do not lament a city abroad; you reveal the inner occupancy of lack or dependency. The act of ongoing worship through external show is simply your mind clinging to forms. If you desired to dissolve it, you must switch the seat of authority from the visible signs to the formless presence—the I AM. Imagination and feeling-tone are the law; what you vividly feel and assume becomes your experienced world. Therefore, claim that wealth is your natural state, not something bestowed by external pageant, and dwell in the feeling of abundance until it becomes the memory your life repeats.
