Crossing the Inner Red Sea

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh's chariots and his host are not distant conquerors; they are the stubborn beliefs you hold about yourself, the identity you answer to when you say, I am not free. In the inner sea of your consciousness, the Red Sea becomes the arena where old self concepts dissolve. When you acknowledge that God—the I AM—dwells within you, you no longer chase them; you allow them to be swallowed by the depths. The drowning captains symbolize the fallen routines of fear and limitation, which sink into the bottom as you stand in a new state of being. The sea does the work only when you stop feeding the old story with attention. Your task is to maintain a future memory in the present: feel the liberation as already accomplished, as if you are the one who cast Pharaoh's army into the sea. In that inner act, the literal external appearance shifts, for the outer is a faithful image of the inner turning toward freedom.
