Burning Bush Awakening

Exodus 3:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 3 in context

Scripture Focus

2And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
Exodus 3:2-4

Biblical Context

Moses sees the burning bush, turns aside to see, and God calls him; the scene shows how attention unveils the inner I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the narrative, the bush represents your ongoing mental state—alive with energy, yet not destroyed by it. The flame is the vivifying presence of awareness that does not burn you, a sign that your inner wind is alive but stable. When Moses says, 'I will now turn aside,' he stops the habitual looking and redirects attention to the inner sight. In Neville’s teaching, this turning aside is the crucial assumption: you stop identifying with the seen world and decide to notice the inner operation of consciousness. As the Lord speaks, 'Moses, Moses,' the I AM within you calls your name, a reminder that you are the awareness in which events appear. 'Here am I' becomes your present-tense response, not a past fulfillment. See the scene as your own inner drama in which a revelation occurs when you inhabit the state of readiness. The bush is not a place but your state of being; the fire is the energy of attention that illuminates form without consuming essence. The call to vocation arises from within when you acknowledge that God is the I AM that you are, and that your next action flows from this awakened consciousness.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, imagine the bush of your mind aflame with awareness, turn aside your attention from the outer scene, and say, 'Here am I' to the I AM within. Then revise any desired outcome by affirming, 'I am that I am' now.
