Genesis 27:41 Inner Hatred Unfolds

Neville's Inner Vision

Esau's hatred of Jacob in this tale is not about two men, but a state of consciousness clinging to a promised blessing as though it came through external favor. The blessing Isaac gave Jacob is an inner sovereignty—the assured I AM that animates every act. Esau's vow to slay Jacob arises when the mind believes its life hinges on possession and tribute, thinking mourning will justify the act. In Neville's terms, you are hearing the inner argument that 'the days of mourning' require a violent correction to a cut-off self. The hatred is the mind's resistance to the idea that you are already blessed beyond loss; the plan to kill is the urge to erase a rival aspect of your self that seems to stand between you and your good. The remedy is simple and ever-present: assume the state of the blessing now. Identify with the I AM that blesses, rather with the fear that you might lose. When you choose to feel as already blessed, Esau's threat dissolves and Jacob's integrity asserts itself as your true identity.
