Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 18:1 is not a report about distant events but a note that your awareness itself has witnessed what God has done for you in consciousness. In Neville's tongue, the deeds of God are the movements of I AM, not external acts. The news Jethro hears mirrors the truth you already know: the LORD, your innermost I AM, has delivered you from the Egypt of fear and limitation. Moses stands for your living, guiding consciousness; Israel, the collectivity of your renewed states. The outward deliverance you read about is an inward shift—bondage dissolving as belief yields to the realization that you are already saved in the present moment. When you attend to this inner report with gratitude, you invite the same change into your daily scene. In you, the induction of a new order occurs by believing that the act is complete within you, not just promised for tomorrow. The outer world becomes the echo of your inner liberty, and the impression of the I AM settles as your natural state.
