Abram’s Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as a blueprint of your inner world, not a map of lands. When the sun goes down and darkness falls, you release old identities; the smoking furnace and the burning lamp symbolize the two movements of consciousness—fear and faith—passing between the pieces of your past choices. The covenant is not dated in time but established in awareness: 'Unto thy seed have I given this land' becomes, for you, that the seed of your present I AM imagination is already the owner of an interior territory. The long list of nations represents inner tendencies and old habits vying for your attention; you name them and let them pass under your watchful I AM, neither denying nor clinging but observing. As you dwell in the realization that you are the awareness in which events occur, the land is yours to inhabit; Providence becomes your inner guidance, and boundaries are set by your clear assumption. The key is faith that the land exists in consciousness before it expresses in circumstance.
