Inner Passover in Seven Days

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse invites us to read not merely as history but as a map of consciousness. The phrase 'the children of Israel that were present' signals states of awareness that are fully present, ready to align with the inner covenant. 'Kept the Passover' becomes an act of passing over old doubt and fear by returning to the I AM, the unconditioned awareness within. The seven days of unleavened bread symbolize a complete cleansing of thought, a removal of leaven—the ego, distraction, and false beliefs—so that consciousness remains pure and unpreturbed. When these inner conditions are maintained with obedience and faithfulness to the inner law, true worship manifests as harmony with divine order in life. This is not ceremonial; it is the imagery of daily life—the constant alignment of your inner state with the inner covenant that God represents as I AM. The verse thus speaks to the power of present consciousness to reorganize experience by steadfast inner discipline into a life of authentic worship and covenant loyalty.
