Pillar of Divine Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 28:18 invites us to shift from restless dreaming to fixed consciousness. The stone is a stable point within the mind, a symbol of a belief you will not easily move. The pillow—what you’ve leaned on in sleep and wishful thinking—gives way to a pillar, a permanent assertion of your awakened state. When you pour oil on the top, you do not anoint a thing; you sanctify your awareness with the living sense of I AM. The morning speaks to a fresh demeanor of mind, an awakening into the truth that God is not outside of you but your essential awareness. By erecting the pillar in imagination, you covenant with holiness and loyalty to presence, choosing to live from the conviction that God’s reality is now true for you. This action is not about pleasing God elsewhere; it is a revision of your inner memory—recasting yourself as the one in whom God dwells, here and now. The practice reinforces that inner shift, making the extraordinary ordinary in your daily experience.
