Inner Burial Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

See the scene as an inner transaction. The cave of Machpelah is the sanctuary you carry within—a place prepared for what you now intend to rest in. The field is the soil of your thoughts; the price you name is the value you place on a new state. When Abraham says, 'for as much money as it is worth,' he teaches you to settle the worth of the thing you desire in your own consciousness. The assembly at the gate embodies the public evidence your inner state requires to feel real. Ephron’s generous offer is not charity but your own willingness to verify your claim. To bury thy dead is to release old identities; to possess the cave is to own a new sense of life. The moment you accept the price and speak of ownership, you have set the inner motion in motion and life accordingly follows.
