Inner Faith and the Rising Seed

Neville's Inner Vision

I stand with Abraham in the inner chamber, where faith is not a memory but a condition of consciousness. Abraham represents the I AM, the aware self that accepts the promise and moves toward its fulfillment without fear. Isaac is the inner seed—the dream of life that God promised—held within the consciousness that seeks proof. The 'sacrifice' is not tragedy but the relinquishment of a fixed image of self and circumstance; it is the discipline of letting the old story die so that the new vitality may be born. When Abraham offers Isaac, he does so from a certainty that God is able to raise the dead—an inner demonstration, not a public miracle. The phrase 'from whence also he received him in a figure' points to the resurrection seen inside: the seed returns to consciousness as new life, the promise fulfilled in form because it was already real in awareness. I apply this by assuming the fulfilled state now, feeling that certainty as present in me, and by letting go of lack as an outdated image.
