Inner Negotiation Of Grace

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scene, you are not watching two families abroad; you are listening to two states of your own consciousness contending for a desired union. Hamor speaks as the voice of longing, offering terms and land; Shechem voices the wish of your desire to marry itself to life, to be given entrance into your innermost realm. The invitation to dwell with them and to possess the land becomes a map of your interior: you may, by grace, allow the idea to inhabit your mental country, to trade with it, to make it tangible in your circumstances. The dowry and gift are the price you are willing to pay in belief—the energy, time, and revised identifications you commit to the vision. When Shechem says, 'Let me find grace in your eyes,' that is your own belief begging for certainty that what you seek is already granted. The whole negotiation is your inner drama of alignment—your choosing to grant the favor before the outside world reflects it back. The call is to revise: affirm that grace is already yours, and dwell in the inner state where your goal has full possession.
