The Inner Angelic Pause

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene not as a history lesson but as a revelation of your own consciousness. The angel who speaks from heaven is the I AM in your imagination, calling your present self, Abraham, into a higher fidelity to the divine idea. When Abraham answers, Here am I, you hear the readiness of consciousness to cooperate with the divine will. The command, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, is the inner ruling that you will not strike down the image of your deepest goal in fear or anger. To not withhold thy son from me is to recognize that your attachment to a cherished outcome dissolves when you perceive that the promise already belongs to the I AM you are. The moment the angel declares, for now I know that thou fearest God, because you have not withheld thy son from me, is the inner verdict that obedience to the divine intention is faith. Faith is not a ritual but alignment: you imagine and let the inner decree govern. The true test is inward; the outer world merely mirrors your mastery of imagination and willingness to yield to the living idea that you are, here and now, the I AM.
