Inner Altar at Mamre

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 13:18 invites you to see Abram not as a traveler crossing lands but as a man who shifts his inner state. The removal of the tent signals a release of the old sense of lack, and dwelling in Mamre becomes an inner habitation of peace and faith. The altar erected to the LORD is not a stone idol but a recognition—an act of acknowledging the Presence within, the I AM that you are. In Neville’s sense, the plain of Mamre is a state of consciousness where you deliberately settle into the truth that your life proceeds from the divine Presence, your awakening imagination. By choosing to dwell there, Abram seals his covenant loyalty—he acts from faith, not fear, and aligns his outer world with inner truth. The sequence teaches that true worship is a daily, practical alignment of desire, belief, and feeling: you do not chase signs; you become the space in which signs appear. The altar is your acknowledgment of unity with God; the banner of your consciousness. The moment you imagine I AM, you step into the land of abundance.
