Birthright Reclaimed: Inner State

Neville's Inner Vision

Esau, in the inner drama, is the paralyzed appetite that chooses a quick bite over its eternal birthright. The birthright represents the I AM within you—the awareness that you are the blessed state itself, here and now. Esau's sale is the belief that a momentary hunger can strip you of this birthright; the later 'rejection' and tears are the dream of trying to recapture a vanished favor. In the Neville method, you do not chase the blessing; you assume you already possess it and adjust your inner state to match. When you insist that the I AM is the only reality and that you are already living in the blessing, the image of lack loses power. You can revise the scene in which you sold out your birthright by returning to a belief that the blessing is yours in this present moment. The moment you accept that the birthright cannot be bought or sold, you awaken to it and repentance becomes simply a turning of attention back to awareness.
