Inner Covenant Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this scene is a vivid allegory of consciousness at work. The act of circumcision stands for the cutting away of the old self-image—the unwelcome thought that you are separated from your true self—and is accomplished by a resolute, inner decision in the I AM. The people’s waiting in the camp until they are whole marks a period of inward alignment, a pause in outward action while the inward state completes its healing. The new generation, raised up in their stead, represents the new states of consciousness that emerge once the old belief is removed. Covenant loyalty becomes fidelity to the I AM within, not to external ritual; obedience is inner obedience to the truth you admit in imagination. Healing is not hurried; wholeness is your natural condition when you cease projecting lack and begin living from the inner reality that you are already one with God. When you perceive from that state, you enter the promised land in mind and become capable of outward movement from wholeness.
