Inner Covenant of Abraham

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 17:24 speaks of Abraham's body being circumcised in the flesh, but the deeper image is a purification of consciousness. The outer sign mirrors an inner decision: I will no longer identify with lack or doubt, I will answer the I AM within as the sole source of life. Age and time soften before the decisive act of imagination. In Neville's terms, the circumcision is the revision of self-concept—cut away the old 'I am separate' story and accept the covenant that you are already that which you seek. The 'flesh' you cut away is the stubborn habit of limitation; the 'foreskin' is the veil of perception that says 'I am not enough.' When you insist, 'I am the I AM,' that inner act of circumcision is complete, and the world will begin to reflect the new order, loyalty to the covenant, obedience to inner law, and holiness through separation from doubt. Abraham's late circumcision marks a settled inner conviction that brings outward alignment with the promise. You are that transformation, and the world will respond as the inner state is felt as real.
