Inner Covenant: Blessing and Curse

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every moment you stand on Gerizim or Ebal, the inner landscape becomes your life. The command to place a blessing on one mount and a curse on the other is not about geography, but about your states of consciousness. When you dwell in the Gerizim attitude—gratitude, openness, compassionate certainty—you invite a land you possess into your experience, a living covenant with your I AM. When you indulge Ebal—the voice of limitation, fear, and judgment—you empower conditions that mirror lack. The text asks you to notice that the choice is yours and that the two mounts are always before you, across the Jordan of habit and the plains of Moreh—the place of discernment. The true land is the inner alignment you cultivate through awareness; once you assume the blessed state, events in your life will begin to reflect it as if you had already entered the promised land. So, the journey is a practice in consciousness, a covenant loyalty to the good you are imagining.
