Inner Covenant Between Pieces

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the Genesis ceremony is a parable of your inner life. The pieces of the sacrificed beasts are the scattered aspects of you, separated until the light of awareness unites them in a single vision. The birds that do not divide signify that nothing within you must be cast aside; every fragment must be owned within the I AM. The darkness and sleep are not punishment but the soul’s descent into the unknown, where a covenant is formed in consciousness before it appears in form. The promise—seed in a strange land, bondage and deliverance, and a return to the father’s peace—maps an inner progression from possibility to manifestation. The smoking furnace and the burning lamp that pass between the pieces symbolize the Self moving through every division, sealing the covenant with itself. So know that what is promised is already true within you. Your task is to accept it now, as a present fact, by the feeling of its truth and by living as though it were complete.
