Inner Pit of Exodus Insight

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse, the pit is not a trench in the ground, but a condition of consciousness left unguarded. When one digs a pit and does not cover it, one creates an inner hazard by an unmastered belief or neglected duty toward life—the animal that falls in is any living impulse or energy harmed by the unprotected mind. The Law here is not external punishment, but the natural law of cause and effect in your own being: what you leave uncovered within you becomes the theater of events in your world. To transmute it, you must become aware of the pit as a thought-form and cover it with responsibility, truth, and love. See that you are not blaming circumstance or others; you are the "man" who digs and the "ox" that might fall. Re-align your inner geography by assuming that every pit you dig is already covered by the I AM you are. In that surrender, the animating life remains safe, and harmony flows through your days as if law itself were responding to your awareness.
