Inner Covenant Revisited

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse is a record of inner states rather than a history of nations. Backsliding Israel represents a consciousness that has fallen away from its awareness of the I AM, and the bill of divorce is the mental consequence of that estrangement. When the soul chooses pattern over presence, the sense of unity with God seems to be dissolved, and outward life mirrors that sense of separation. Judah, the sister consciousness, fears not and imitates, continuing the trance as if the I AM were distant and the covenant were negotiable. This is not punitive punishment but the law of inner attention: you experience what you believe about yourself. The extension of judgment to Judah is a reminder that the same inner habit can appear in any part of your mind until you revise the state. The cure is immediate and practical: awaken to the I AM within and assume the covenant as a present fact. Begin with a simple assumption that you are in perfect union, and revise every outer sign to agree with that truth. Let the feeling of unity flood your heart until it feels real and unshakable.
