Inner Covenant of Wealth and Love

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a Neville Goddard teaching, this scene is not about outsiders bargaining for a bride, but about how I, or the I AM, negotiate with the inner life. The call to 'marry with us' and to 'dwell and trade' is the inner invitation to unite two states of consciousness into one field where life can be lived abundantly. The 'land before you' and 'possessions' signal that a new mode of awareness is ready to be claimed, not purchased from elsewhere but recognized within. When Shechem asks for grace, I hear my own inner self asking for grace to enter a new pattern; I decide what I am willing to give—my thoughts, my time, my generosity—as the dowry by which I seal a new covenant. The response to the outer negotiation is the inner alignment: I consent to dwell with the new consciousness and to claim its gifts. The outer scene becomes a mirror of an inner movement: a covenant loyalty, generosity, and abundance spring from the state of awareness I choose to inhabit.
