Wilderness Fear to Inner Faith

Exodus 14:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 14 in context

Scripture Focus

11And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
Exodus 14:11-12

Biblical Context

The passage portrays the people fearing death in the wilderness and preferring bondage in Egypt, lamenting their move as the only safe option. It mirrors our own inner dramas when we cling to the familiar state of mind rather than step into the unknown.

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 14:11-12 is not a history lesson but an inner drama. Egypt is the mind's old state of bondage; the wilderness is the present sense of separation from the I AM. When they cry out for graves, they confess a belief that safety lies in the past, not in the awakening at hand. In Neville's terms, the scene reveals a state you inhabit: fear dressed as fact, the conclusion that you cannot be free. The remedy is to turn the imagination to the end: feel you are already free, here and now. Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, revise the story of leaving Egypt by choosing the consciousness that you are safe, guided, and supported by the I AM within. Speak to that I AM and declare, 'I am free now; I have crossed into the land of abundance.' Let the old fear surrender to the awareness of your real status as the one consciousness creating the scene. Persist in feeling it real, and the imagined landscape rearranges itself to match your inner conviction. The moment of fear becomes a doorway to faith when you refuse to identify with the haunting image and instead dwell in the I AM.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes, assume the end you desire—freedom and safety—now. Repeat 'I am free now' while breathing deeply, imagining you have already crossed into your promised land.
