Inner Covenant Of Love And Hate

Neville's Inner Vision

In the stillness of your being, Jacob and Esau are not two men but two ways of living in you. Jacob represents the steady, imaginative state that loves the unseen and remains faithful to the I AM. Esau embodies the impulsive, sensory-minded mover who seeks instant gratification and measures life by appearances. When Paul writes, 'Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated,' he speaks not of persons but of inner alignments. God is the I AM, the awareness that experiences itself as you. To love Jacob is to accept and sustain the inner assurance that the promised fulfillment is already present in your now. To 'hate' Esau is to disidentify with the quick, changing appetites that pull you toward mere surface results. The exterior world follows the inner conviction; the inner life is the cause, the outer life the effect. As you dwell in the I AM, imagination becomes the instrument of reality, and your life evidences the truth you have already accepted.
