Shelter For The Escaped

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the scripture does not command you to obey the master's demand, but to honor the movement of freedom within. The escaped servant stands for a part of you that has slipped away from bondage of fear, habit, or lack, and the master represents the old identification that would drag that freedom back into the dark. In the inner world, you are the I AM, the living consciousness that does not betray its own liberty. When you refuse to deliver the escapee to any external authority, you are choosing to sustain the reality that you have already imagined into being. The moment you acknowledge the dream of liberty and treat it as present, the 'master' loses its grip, for power lies not in the chain but in the state of awareness that perceives it. Your responsibility is to shelter what has awakened within you, to attend to it with compassion, and to revise the narrative until the inner servant is fully at rest in the light you already are.
