Neville Goddard on Exodus 2:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 2 in context

Scripture Focus

5And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

6And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

Exodus 2:5-6

Biblical Context

Pharaoh's daughter discovers the ark and, moved by the infant's cry, she shows compassion, initiating a moment of deliverance. The passage suggests mercy as the seed of salvation awakening within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner temple of your consciousness, the ark is the state you have not yet deemed possible, floating along the river of circumstance. The daughter of Pharaoh represents the appearing conditions—the world of appearances—that call you to notice. When she opens the ark and sees the child, she names him as one of the Hebrews’ children, a recognition that the oppressed self is not beyond reach but already known to your I AM. The compassion she feels is not sentiment alone; it is the vibrational recognition that your awareness contains the very state you seek. This is Providence: not an external rescue, but your decision to identify with the life that already is and to act from that awareness. As you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the marginalised part of you awakens, and what was hidden becomes visible and real. The deliverance unfolds as you persist in the impression that you are the I AM, watching over the situation with mercy and certainty. Salvation and redemption are thus inner shifts, not distant events.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the I AM is aware of your deepest need as already provided; feel the compassionate energy flowing to that inner child, and rest in the feeling that salvation is now.
