Hebrews 11:8

Biblical Context

Abraham, by faith, obeyed the call to leave his homeland and go to a place he would receive as an inheritance, not knowing where he was going.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within you, the call of Abraham is the first echo of your own awakened will. By faith he obeyed the unseen invitation, stepping out of the known as if the land of promise already rested in his heart. The outward travel mirrors an inner movement: leaving old definitions, abandoning the security of certainty, and entrusting the future to an inward decree that already knows the end from the beginning. God here is not a distant deity but the awareness that you ARE. The 'inheritance' Abraham awaits is the realization that your life is fashioned by your dominant assumption—the state of consciousness you choose to occupy. When you hear the call and obey, you do not rush to a new place; you align with a new consciousness that makes that place real in you first. His not knowing whither he went is the surrender of imagination to its own guidance, confident that every step is a revision of the self into the truth of what you desire.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, hear the inner call as a fresh vision; imagine you already possessing the promised inheritance, feel the gratitude and certainty, and revise any doubt. Then take a small practical step today as if you have already gone forth into that state.
