Inner Covenant Alignment

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene not as a social treaty but as a disclosure of your inner state. The 'uncircumcised' stands for a part of you still living in separation, clinging to old customs; the demand to be 'as we are' marks the moment you decide to import a new self-concept. When the mind agrees to circumcise, it is not a physical act but a letting go of the old identity, a consecration to a unified self. The promised 'one people' is your inner unity—your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs harmonized as a single I AM. The threat, 'we will take our daughter and be gone,' signals the consequence of resisting inner alignment: parts of you will be carried away by the drift of belief rather than joined to the larger self. In Neville's terms, true covenant is conviction realized in imagination: you are already one with the state you seek; you must simply dwell in that state until it expresses in action.
