Seven Bows of Inner Peace

Neville's Inner Vision

In the story, the outward bow is not a ritual to appease a rival but a symbol of a change of mind. The I AM within Jacob accepts the divine order that brothers are one, the separated self returning to peace. The seven bows embody completion of an inner decree: I choose to stand in unity, not fear. Each bow is a deliberate movement of attention, a revision of the past into the present as an already realized harmony. When Jacob passes over and bows, he is not bending Esau’s will but bending his own identification with lack, grandeur, and restraint. The I AM in him says, 'You and your brother are one; the space between is only dream-time.' The outer reunion with Esau follows the inner alignment; forgiveness is the atmosphere of the mind. In Neville’s terms, imagine you already possess the reconciliation you seek, and let your imagined posture and vibration fill the space between you and the other person until it yields outward peace. The seven is completion, a sign that consciousness stands intact in love, regardless of appearances.
