Inner Circumcision of the Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the nations named—Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and those in the wilderness—not as distant peoples, but as facets of your own mind. The uncircumcised heart is not a geographical verdict; it is a description of a mind unprepared for the covenant within. In Neville's terms, God is the I AM in you, and reality follows your assumed state. An uncircumcised heart means you have not yet allowed the divine idea to reorder your sense of self. Circumcision is not a ritual; it is the removal of mental barrier, the conscious assent that the divine idea is central and operative. To be circumcised in the heart is to be loyal to the covenant of your I AM, to let imagination reorder what you accept as real. If you awaken to that identity now, you will see storms and distances melt into the single field of consciousness where you are always one with God. The world then becomes your invitation to exercise that inner ruling power.
