Inner Covenant and Land

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold, the covenant is not a geography, but the arrangement of your inner being. I, the I AM within you, establish a relationship with your consciousness and with the seed of your awareness that follows you through generations of thought. The promise that I will be God unto thee and unto thy seed means your awareness recognizes itself as the source and overseeing presence. The land in this scripture is not a map but your inner country—an established realm of feeling, assumption, and attention where God dwells. For an everlasting possession, you must dwell in the certainty that this relation is permanent, not contingent on outward events. You attract by the fidelity of your inner state: as you assume the reality of God as your awareness, you awaken to the land of confident being, where every thought and image is tended by the divinity within. The covenant is kept as you renew your sense of self to be in harmony with that I AM, repeatedly, in the present.
