The Inner Covenant at Sinai

Neville's Inner Vision

The Sinai episode is a parable of your present inner state. The mountain blazing with fire represents the vivid energy of your imagination awakening in consciousness. The voice spoken from the fire is your own I AM—the quiet, all-knowing awareness that speaks, decrees, and seals the inner law. The commandments symbolize fixed inner decisions you choose to live by, not mere external rules. When Moses is commanded to teach statutes and judgments, see this as your inner governor instructing you to establish consistent inner statutes—habits of thought and feeling aligned with your desired life. If you will assume the state of that covenant, you will act from it in the land you seek to possess. Obedience is fidelity to your inner state; faithfulness is the ongoing maintenance of that consciousness until your world conforms to it. The external world is the effect; the inner state is the cause, and the covenant you choose is your inner, living law.
