Inner Covenant Sacrifice

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Abram's action is not a ritual to please some distant power, but an inner act of aligning your states of consciousness. The animals represent inner qualities you join to form a covenant with a new assurance. When he divides them, you are not carving flesh; you are separating old patterns from the new consciousness you intend to embody. The birds that do not divide the pieces stand for intrusive appearances—doubt, fear, and the sense that time and circumstance govern you. Abram's act of driving them away is your moment of inner volition: you refuse to let external conditions dictate your state of awareness. The covenant, as Neville would teach, is not made in the flesh but realized as an inner knowing that your I AM is the unchanging reality you live by. As you hold the vision of harmony and promise, you align your awareness with that image, and the outer scene begins to respond from within. The ritual becomes true worship when you acknowledge the I AM as your permanent, governing consciousness.
