Seed's Sojourn: Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the seed is your I AM, the living awareness that never dies. When God says the seed must sojourn in a strange land, he is describing your present interior condition: you, as consciousness, wandering in a mind not yet recognized as home. The strange land is any belief system that seems foreign to your true nature; bondage and the ill treatment are the reactions of thought born from habit and fear. The four hundred years symbolize a long habit of attention, an extended dream, yet it is only a story in your mind, and not a law written in the stone of being. The prophecy is not about a people under external tyrants but about your inner process of awakening: you can awaken within your own consciousness and return to the promised land by assuming the feeling of the fulfilled state. When you acknowledge that the voice which spoke of bondage is the same I AM that can liberate, you begin the return. The exile dissolves as you daily practice the conviction that you are now in your home state, and the outer world will conform to the inner revision.
