Inner Call To Pilgrimage

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the narrative speaks of God appearing to Abraham and commanding him to leave his country and kindred. In my counsel, this is not a throw of history but a statement about your own inner geography. The God of glory is the I AM within, the awareness that can call you forth from every familiar limitation. When the voice says, Get thee out… and come into the land which I shall shew thee, the summons is a decision of the heart, a revision of identity. Abraham's obedience is faith not in a distant place but in a present assumption — he moves because he has affirmed the invitation and trusts the unseen guidance of consciousness. The land to be shown is the next state of awareness that responds to God’s presence. As you observe this, you begin to notice that leaving country and kindred is the shedding of old self-ways, not geography. Your life shifts the moment you inwardly comply: you are already in the land, already dwelt in it, by the power of the I AM.
