Jethro at the Inner Mount

Neville's Inner Vision

To the Neville reader, this verse is not a travelogue but a map of consciousness. Jethro and his sons and wife appearing at the wilderness encampment marks the moment when the many states of mind—fidelity, wisdom, love, and duty—arrive at the Mount of God, the seat of your I AM. Moses represents the decision-maker in you, the waking state that must organize the scattered impressions of life. The Mount of God is not a mere place on a map but a towering height of awareness you can choose to inhabit here and now. When these guests encamp there, you are not inviting them outside; you are acknowledging them as inner movements that belong to your present awareness. The presence you sense is your own consciousness becoming still enough to host all elements of your life, including tradition and family, under one roof of love. Thus true worship is not ritual; it is the recognition that God is I AM, that you are always able to welcome every part of yourself into the surrounding light of awareness.
