Deuteronomy 26:7-8

Biblical Context

We cried to the LORD and He heard us, recognizing our affliction and toil. He delivered us from bondage with a mighty hand and outstretched arm.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the verses reveal a simple law: you cry, and consciousness answers. The 'LORD God of our fathers' is the I AM you identify as the bearer of awareness, and your voice is heard by the Self that holds you in existence. When you turn toward that I AM, oppression becomes a state in flux, not a fixed fate, and the mighty hand—your own steady attention—reaches out with an outstretched arm of imagination. The signs and wonders are inner shifts: a fresh insight, a relief of tension, and a sudden alignment of circumstances that confirms your belief. The exodus from Egypt is the movement from a bounded sense of self to the infinite life of God within you; deliverance is the present realization of that truth, not a distant event. Begin to dwell in the feeling that the end is already achieved, and the Lord will reveal your true freedom as experienced reality in your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and, in the space of a breath, assume the end: you are delivered. Hold the feeling of freedom and imagine stepping out of the Egypt of limitation, keeping that certainty for several breaths.
