Moses Awakens Inner Zeal

Neville's Inner Vision

To Moses in Exodus 2:11, I tell you, this is not a boy's march through a desert of stones but a state of consciousness waking to itself. He looks upon his brethren’s burdens and feels the sting of bondage as his own. In my reading, the 'Hebrew' is the true self oppressed within, the 'Egyptian' the stubborn belief in separation and limitation, and Moses the waking zeal that will not tolerate bondage. The moment his eyes rest on the scene, a movement begins—the inner zeal for righteousness and liberation—born as a confidence in the one cause of freedom: the I AM, the living awareness that you are, and that you have always been, free. This awakening is not about physical rescue alone; it is about purifying consciousness until oppression loses its power. Notice how the Love of Neighbor and the Imago Dei intertwine: you see your brother as yourself, so to save him is to save a part of your own mind. The seed of deliverance is sown in awareness itself, and from that seed, the future act will arise.
