Neville's contrast isn't anti-material; it's practical: you must fully inhabit Caesar's world to see its illusion. Wealth and power become tests, not treasures, revealing what truly matters. The move toward God, for Neville, comes after tasting the world so you can renounce it with actual consent, not as a naive withdrawal. Treat abundance as fuel, not an ultimate conclusion.
