Inner Flight to Haran

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 27:43-44 is a lesson in inner geography. Laban and Haran symbolize inner environments you enter by shifting your attention, not mere places. The flight represents moving from one self-image to another; Esau's fury is the stubborn emotion that arises when you attempt a new assumption. Obedience to the voice is obedience to the I AM within you—the awareness that your imagining creates reality. The 'few days' tarry is mental discipline, a span given to let the new state take form in imagination. To depart is to revise the old story of threat into a present-tense reality. When you hold the assumption—'I am in Haran now; I am safe; this state has always been mine'—the inner climate changes and the anger dissolves. Your world reflects that conviction; the exodus is the ascent of consciousness, the moment imagination becomes your dwelling place rather than a distant dream.
