Inner Blessing Through Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

In truth, Jacob's reluctance and Rebekah's push represent the inner dialogue every soul registers when facing the accustomed 'Father' of fear and the covenant of blessing that is already within. The hairy Esau outward sign points to a belief that identity is contingent on appearance; the smooth Jacob is the inner state seeking to 'become' by the act of assuming. The curse is a product of fear when one forgets the I AM, the God within; the voice Rebekah offers—'obey my voice'—is the inner impulse to align with a new version of your reality by the power of assumption. When we heed the inner instruction, we imitate the old ritual: we do not change the outer world; we change the inner state which, in Neville's terms, creates the outer event in time. The blessing comes as the natural consequence of a felt assumption that is lived in the now.
