When Riches Vanish in One Hour

Neville's Inner Vision

In this single verse, wealth is not a barometer of external power but a pointer to inner state. The hour when riches come to nought marks the moment you awaken to the I AM within, and stop letting ships, markets, or sea-borne fame define you. The shipmasters, sailors, and merchants are symbols of outer activities—your plans, ambitions, and ventures. Their fall is the inner movement from reliance on external signs to the awareness that consciousness itself is the only true wealth. Providence and accountability arise as you recognize that wealth flows as inner assurance, not finite external stock. The call to revise your sense of security becomes a gift: you are invited to return wholly to the inner kingdom where God, the I AM, furnishes every need. When you align with this truth, the apparent loss becomes a clearing for new vision, and the 'great riches' you seek is the certainty of inner abundance that never fails.
