Floor of Covenant: Ruth 3:5-7

Neville's Inner Vision

Ruth's line All that thou sayest unto me I will do signals a decisive inner agreement—she enters Naomi's guidance as the I AM consenting to a higher image. In Neville's psychology, Naomi's instruction is an inner directive, a move of consciousness you accept as true. Ruth goes to the floor—the floor of your awareness—where old drift is settled and a new state of being lies down to rest. Boaz's merry heart indicates the readiness of a sufficient state of consciousness to receive the imagination you have cultivated. When Ruth uncovers his feet and lies down, she is not plotting a worldly outcome but inviting the inner self to loosen attachments to old patterns and stand grounded in a visible, practical image of security and provision. The union on the threshing floor becomes the occurrence of your desired state in the felt sense of life. Focus now on the present moment: that inner covenant you already consented to by imagining it true.
