Biblical Context

Moses recounts to his father-in-law how God delivered Israel from Pharaoh and the suffering of their journey; Jethro rejoices in the goodness shown to Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard reading, the Exodus story becomes a drama of inner consciousness. Moses, speaking to his elder, is the I AM within you naming the acts of your own awareness: deliverance from the sense of bondage to a state of freedom. The Pharaohs and the Egyptians symbolize inner fears and doubts dissolved by recognition of the I AM. The travail along the way is not a physical trek but the mental ordeal of persisting belief until it yields. When the deliverance is recounted, you are rehearsing the memory of a condition already achieved by your awareness, not awaiting an external event. Jethro’s rejoicing mirrors the moment consciousness fully accepts this liberation as already true, generating gratitude that confirms the inner shift. The present moment becomes the stage where you allow your true nature—the I AM—to deliver you, again and again, through the power of imaginative revision.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, recall a current challenge, and revise it by declaring, 'I am delivered now,' feeling the relief as your awareness acknowledges the I AM as the source of all good; then write a brief testimony of what has already been accomplished.
