Beersheba Wilderness Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Abraham stands as the I AM in your mind—the awareness that feeds Hagar and the child with bread and water, symbols of thought and belief nourished by presence. When he sends them away, this is not punishment but a deliberate inner movement: a state of consciousness launching a former identity into the wilderness of Beersheba to test its sufficiency. Hagar's wandering represents a mind that has left its comfort zone yet still carries the seed—the child—of what you are becoming. Mercy here is the dynamic allowance of a past to depart so a higher idea can mature. The desert becomes the proving ground where limitation reveals its dependence on the I AM for nourishment. The grace you seek is already present as inner supply; you simply must acknowledge it. Exile, in this sense, is a passage, not a penalty, guiding you back to a more unified self. The I AM does not abandon you; it leads you through the internal landscape until you recognize you are the Source of your own nourishment and return. Thus the outward journey mirrors the inward realization: you are always led, sustained, and returned to fullness by consciousness.
