Under the Cloud of Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul’s note that our fathers were under the cloud and passed through the sea is not history for memory’s sake but a map of your own inner weather. The cloud is your awareness, sheltering you in a certain conviction; the sea is the shifting currents of appearances that would pull you this way or that. To be baptized unto Moses is to identify with a governing principle within you—the inner law or Moses as the guide you answer to. It is not external deliverance but the awakening that while there are outer waves, you stand in the I AM, the unshaken witness of Being. The journey through the sea is your exodus from fear into faith; the cloud’s protection is your consistent, inner sense that you are already led by a wiser, abiding direction. This is the key: every moment offers you the choice to identify with your inner Moses and the I AM, thereby transforming outward events by the conviction of your own inner alignment.
