The I AM's Unyielding Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold, the text speaks of a hardening of the heart, not as a curse upon Pharaoh alone, but as a mirror for your own mind. The LORD within you, the I AM, may appear to harden the old self when you claim liberation, yet this 'hardening' is only a resistance rooted in a former sense of self. When you identify with the problem, you project a stubborn Pharaoh; when you identify with the solution, you permit the exodus. Your inner chorus says, I cannot go; but the I AM says, you can go and are free. The movement from bondage to freedom begins as a revision of consciousness: you assume a new state that already exists in you. The external plagues become reminders that your old habits resist change until your inner command shifts. In this reading, deliverance is not a miracle coming from without but a change of inner possession, a redecoration of the self. Relax the attachment to the old story; allow the inner I AM to soften the heart, and the doors open.
