Inner Distinction And Divine Protection

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 11:7 is not about geography; it is a map of consciousness. The 'Egyptians' symbolize every imposing circumstance pressing in from without; the 'Israel' represents a state of awareness that belongs to God as I AM. When the Lord 'doth put a difference,' it is your inner discernment—your I AM recognizing what is truly yours and what is not—that prevents the outer noise from piercing the protected mind. The decree that no dog moves its tongue against Israel is the assurance that once you dwell in the mental realm of the I AM, you are insulated from petty fears, slander, or apparent threat. You are not saved by external events but by the recognition that you are already the man or woman set apart in consciousness. To practice this is to assume the status of Israel now, in your present awareness: see the world as Egypt, and yourself as the Israel within; let the difference be a living fact of your awareness, and the deliverance from bondage becomes your inner reality. When you hold to this distinction, you experience protection, guidance, and liberation as the natural state of consciousness.
