Second Revelation of Self

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the verse is not about a history lesson but an inner law. Joseph stands for a state of consciousness that has recognized itself and, in that recognition, calls forth kin and public to acknowledge it. The 'second time' the brothers know him is the self's repeated confirmations within your imagination, a renewed invitation to trust the inner truth you have persisted in. The fact that Joseph's kindred are known to Pharaoh represents the alignment of your inner circle with outer authorities when your assumed state ripens into apparent reality. The brothers' recognition is your inner circle acknowledging your true identity; Pharaoh's awareness is the outer world finally catching a glimpse of that truth. Providence and deliverance unfold as you dwell in the present-tense assumption and let the felt sense of already-being illuminate your relationships and circumstances. Therefore you do not seek transformation from without but stabilize the inner awareness, and the scene of your life adjusts to reflect that inner revelation.
