Inner Covenant of Unity

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard view, the ‘cattle and substance’ signify the outward possessions of your inner state. To ‘consent unto them, and they will dwell with us’ means you are inviting a broader aspect of your consciousness to reside within your I AM. The gate and the mass circumcision symbolize a painful yet necessary inner cut—letting go of exclusive, fear-based, or prideful distinctions to accommodate a larger sense of self. When Hamor and Shechem yield to this plan, it mirrors your mind’s willingness to restructure its relationships: every facet of your being (the 'every male') is invited to undergo a transformation to support unity. The result is not conquest but a reorganized state of abundance—your wealth and possessions flow from a unified inner world rather than from forceful division. This is a present-tense creation: unity arises as you stop resisting others within yourself and recognize them as already part of your I AM, thereby dissolving perceived lack and expanding your life within one harmonious state.
