Inner Journey to Padanaram

Neville's Inner Vision

See the verse as a whisper to your own I AM. Arise means awaken to a shift of identity; Padanaram is the interior land where a new form of relationship can be born. The instruction to take a wife from the daughters of Laban your mother's brother points to choosing a harmonizing state of mind from the family of beliefs you carry. Bethuel's house—the house of your mother's father—represents the old domestic pattern of thought you are leaving behind. The journey therefore is not a geographic itinerary but a movement of consciousness: you move your attention to a fertile interior field, select a 'wife' that embodies a compatible quality, and permit that quality to mate with your present I AM. When you align with this new state through imagination, thus imagined union precedes any outward sign. Providence then reveals itself as the natural fallout of your inner conviction: a new circumstance, a new relationship, an inner sense of completion. So you do not travel to a distant land with a cart and rope, but you travel inward, and the moment your mind consents to this union, your outer life begins to reflect it.
