Wholeness in the Inner Exodus

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 10:11 speaks in the language of a state of consciousness. Pharaoh’s line, Not so, points to a split mind that wants to keep parts of life in bondage. The summons, go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD, is not about a historical command but about the inner decision of the whole self to worship. To serve the LORD is to align every facet of consciousness—thoughts, desires, habits—with the I AM that you are. The ‘men’ symbolize the will and strength that act; yet the secret is that the entire being must move, or no exodus occurs. When you accept the whole self as the temple of God, the old rule-bound identity is displaced; you are driven out from Pharaoh’s presence because you no longer share his throne. Deliverance comes as a present state of awareness, not a distant event: assume the consciousness that has already departed from lack, fear, and limitation, and that consciousness will govern your experiences. In this way, true worship translates into realization: you liberate by assuming the truth, and the land of plenty—the I AM—is your constant ground.
