From Bondage to Inner Freedom

Neville's Inner Vision

See the Hebrew servant as a state of consciousness under a stubborn inner master—fear or lack—that says, I am bound to my story. The six years are the routine of thoughts; the seventh year signals a shift in awareness: you may awaken to freedom right now. If you loudly affirm, I love my master, my fear and my old self, and I will not go out free, that is your inner vow to remain identified with the past. The ear’s piercing is a symbol of sealing that vow, a fixed mark in your inner self that you intend to keep forever. In Neville’s terms, the real action is inner: when you assume the I AM as your only reality and feel the truth of freedom, the need for bondage dissolves. Your loyalty to that inner state will redraw your experience and even your relationships from the level of consciousness you inhabit. The key practice is simple: decide now that you are free, align your speech and feeling with the I AM, and let your imagination confirm the life that follows from that inner covenant.
