Moses and Inner Authority

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Exodus 17:4, Moses is the outer figure, yet the text speaks of a deeper crisis that each of us knows: the crowd pressing in from without, and the self questioning from within. When Moses asks, 'What shall I do unto this people?', he is revealing a state of consciousness that believes in separation, threat, and the need for a remedy outside. Neville would say: God is not out there, God is your I AM presence within, and every cry is a signal to shift your inner state. The 'stone-me' impulse is simply energy moving in fear; the answer does not come as marching orders from the desert, but as the conversion of tense energy into listening by pure awareness. Moses' cry becomes our invitation to return to the one reality: I AM. The scene is not about changing others or the people, but about awakening to the awareness that you exist as the steadily present observer, the cause in consciousness. When you align with the I AM, leadership emerges from your inner authority, and the apparent threat dissolves into a horizon of calm and decisive action.
