Inner Judgment of Genesis 16:5

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, this scene is not about distant people, but about inner states in you. Sarai and Abram stand as two dispositions within consciousness: the impulse to act and the impulse to protect one's own standing. When Sarai says, 'my wrong be upon thee,' she embodies the part of you that projects consequence outward, and the maid Hagar becomes the inner movement that yields results you cannot control. The 'conception' in the verse is the birth of action that magnifies the split, and the cry 'the LORD judge between me and thee' is the moment you ask your I AM to arbitrate between the two contradictory faculties. Neville would have you see that the judge is not an external deity but the I AM within you, the awareness that unites, not punishes. To heal, you must revise: identify with the one I AM that already reconciles both sides, assume harmony, and feel it real. When you do, the scene of blame dissolves into a single, peaceful consciousness in which every impulse serves the whole.
