Inner Riches vs Outer Deception

Neville's Inner Vision

Your language about wealth in this verse is a declaration of a state of consciousness. When you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, you are identifying with a form of being that believes it needs nothing from Life. But the inner you, the I AM, knows otherwise: consciousness that is unaware of its wretchedness, poor, blind, and naked is merely an unlit pattern of thought. The remedy is not to judge the condition but to awaken the awareness that you are more than the surface story of accumulation. Real wealth is the realization that the I AM within you is sufficient, that every apparent lack can be rearranged by a revised imagination. To conversion, you must assume a new state: I am the all-sufficient Spirit, and I need nothing but the ever-present divine supply. As you dwell in that feeling, the senses straighten, and your outer world begins to reflect a richer interior life.
