Inner Covenant Sign Realized
Genesis 17:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 17:10-11 presents God’s covenant with Abraham’s line, requiring circumcision as a visible sign of loyalty, holiness, and obedience. The core is inner commitment—holiness and separation expressed as a faithful state of consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
View the Genesis covenant as an inner map, not merely an outward rite. In Neville’s world the body is the symbol, and God is the I AM within you, the awareness that remains unchanged while thoughts pass. The command to circumcise becomes the invitation to cut away the old self—those limiting identifications that keep you in fear or lack. The token of the covenant is an inner sign: you consciously align your mind with a state of fullness and loyalty to your true nature. Your seed after thee represents the future unfoldings that arise from this present assumed state; they are born when you refuse to entertain contradiction and rather dwell in the certainty of your oneness with God. Obedience is steady attention to the imagined end; faithfulness is remaining loyal to that end despite appearances. Holiness and separation are not separation from people but discrimination of thought—choosing the divine I AM as the ruling reality. When you keep this inner covenant, the outer life recasts itself as the natural sign of your inner agreement.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I am the covenant I seek; I cut away the old self and rest in the I AM now.' Then visualize a glowing token forming within your chest as proof of your loyalty, and feel the state as already real.
