Exodus 13:22 Inner Pillar

Neville's Inner Vision

All scripture is a description of states of consciousness. The pillar of cloud by day and fire by night is the outward symbol of an inner presence that is always with you. The people are states of attention; the moving cloud and fire are the inner movements of awareness that organize your days and nights. When the text says God did not remove it, it declares that your I AM can never abandon your consciousness. Providence then is your own consistent sense of direction, a stable tilt of mind toward a goal you nourish in imagination. Covenant Loyalty is the discipline of returning to this inner guide, choosing again and again to align with the I AM who is always present. The pillar is not a historical object but the consciousness that does not depart; it is the unbroken assurance that you are led. If you forget, revise in imagination—see the pillar reappear before you and feel the steadfastness of your own awareness guiding every decision.
