Inner Covenant Watch

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner eye, Genesis 31:44-50 becomes a scene in which two centers of consciousness settle into an unbreakable covenant. The pillar and the heap are not distant stones but fixed points in imagination—a deliberate anchor for a new state of being. Jacob and Laban negotiate with their outer selves, yet the true witness is the I AM, the God within, who stands between the old condition and the new. When you say, let this agreement be a witness, you are naming the inner law by which your life will obey: fidelity to the state you desire, and fidelity to the consciousness that holds it. Mizpah—the watch between me and thee—becomes the steady awareness that you are never alone in your ascent. If fear or temptation arises—if an old pattern seeks to reassert itself, if you fear you are divided from your own goodness—remember that the witness is not the other person but the eternal I AM, always present between your present and your possible self. By establishing such a covenant in your mind, you dissolve the old power and awaken the inner kingdom where covenant loyalty and truth become your lived reality.
