Inner Covenant of Conception

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how this scene translates into your own inner life. The 'surrogate' is not a person but a surrogate idea—a temporary womb of action born from fear, obedience, and a lack of trust in your true self. Sarai represents the policy of “do this” in your mind, the energy that says, 'Here is the plan I must follow to obtain the future I want.' Hagar is the feeling-state that arises when you consent to that plan—pregnant with a mental image of accomplishment. Abram is the I AM that lends its energy to the plan, and the act of going in unto Hagar signals how you unify your will with a belief rather than with pure creative imagination. The moment Hagar conceives, the inner world notices a shift: the dream now seems to belong to someone else, and you feel 'despised'—the old posture of self-judgment reacting to the birth of a new idea. Reclaim the scene by returning to the original covenant in your heart: you, not a surrogate, are the birther of your future through the imagination rightly aligned with God.
