Inner Courage Of The Midwives

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 1:15-17 appears as a political scene, yet in Neville's light it is a parable of inner command and moral clarity. The king's edict is an outer circumstance, a story the world tries to enforce. The midwives—Shiphrah and Puah—represent states of consciousness that will not surrender to a decree that would terminate life. Their fear of God is the inward recognition of the I AM, the eternal Self that does not consent to negation. To fear God here is to respect the life-giving principle within; to obey it is to enact righteousness and justice in form. When they do not perform the king's order, they are not defying a person; they are asserting the life that your imagination can birth by a new assumption. The act of saving the male children is the momentum of consciousness choosing possibility over doom. The king is a symbol of limitation; your true sovereign is your inner awareness. By choosing life, they demonstrate a practical application of mercy through inner alignment, proving that what you accept as true in your mind becomes external reality in its own time. The narrative invites you to practice the same inner revision today.
