Release From Inner Servitude

Neville's Inner Vision

When you read this law, know it is your inner state speaking. The Hebrew servant is a thought, a pattern of belief that has seemed to own your time, your limited self-image. Six years of service are six cycles of effort, habit, and fear that you have endured as if they were compulsory. The seventh year is not escape from time, but a shift in consciousness—liberty that arises when you see that you are not the doer of your life but the awareness that perceives it all. The wife who goes out with him represents the relationship you have given power to in your mind—the bonds you have mistaken for reality, which depart when you return to the truth that I AM is the sole master and the sole freedom. This is the covenant fulfilled: loyalty to the recognition that you are already free, not at the mercy of a timetable. Deliverance is not a change of circumstances but a change of consciousness, kept by fidelity to the truth that you are the living I AM.
