I Am The God Of Your Fathers

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 3:6 speaks from the interior as the I AM addressing Moses, the man who fears the sight of God. In Neville's terms, the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob) are states of consciousness you awaken, not distant figures. The God who speaks is your own awareness, the I AM that precedes every image. Moses hiding his face reveals how fear arises when you confront the light of awareness within; to look would be to claim responsibility for the whole covenant already present in you. The text teaches that God is not out there but within, a Presence never separate from your decision and feeling. Your fidelity to the I AM—your covenant loyalty—rests on your willingness to rest in this inner God rather than run from it. Holiness becomes the separating line between fear and joy: you choose to stay in the field of this awareness, your life reorganizing around the truth that you are the vessel of the God of your fathers, living now as present experience. As you practice, you discover that recognizing this God within dissolves the old fear and replaces it with a calm, unwavering sense of being.
