The Pit and the Promise

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 21:34 appears as a desert parable for the states of my consciousness. The pit I stumble into is a lower emotion, where something dies—an old belief, a plan, or a habit of lack. The command that the pit’s owner must 'make it good' is really my inner law: I restore balance by paying the mental debt, by giving value to the other as I value my own I AM. In this sense, the 'money' is attention, resolution, and forgiveness—money in the mind that clears the debt of fear. As I revise, I feel the vitality returning, the energy released from the death of the old beast. The phrase 'the dead beast shall be his' announces the moment when the old limitation ceases to rule me because I have chosen responsibility and consciousness. I choose to feel it real now: restoration has occurred, and provision follows. So I stand with the inner certainty that I am the I AM, and in this state I pay, repair, and immediately witness the world reflect the balance I have created.
