Inner Covenant Of Genesis 21:25-27

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the characters are not external persons but states of consciousness. Abraham embodies the steadfast, rightful mind that will not tolerate a lack of nourishment in its inner life. Abimelech stands for mistaken beliefs and appearances—the sense that authority or supply comes from outside or from a states of fear. The well itself is the living source within, the water of life that sustains being. When the vessel of life is ‘stolen’ by false thoughts or destructive actions, the inner drama reveals how the mind experiences disruption. Abraham’s reproach is the decisive correction of thinking: that a perceived theft does not have to define the whole field of awareness. The gifts of sheep and oxen are offerings to harmonize inner factions, not concessions to a neighbor; they symbolize generosity of inner resources flowing to restore balance. The covenant marks an inner agreement—two aspects of self choosing a common purpose under the I AM. The result is Shalom: the mind’s life returns to its natural flow. By this revision, conflict dissolves and consciousness rests in wholeness.
