Pharaoh Within, A Turning Point

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh is the symbol of your unexamined self, the stubborn ego that clings to the old script and turns back when the invitation to change appears. Exodus 7:23 shows that even after the sign, the outer house is closed; yet within you the decision to remain unchanged is a state of consciousness you can revise. The key is to realize that 'this also' can be turned around by a simple act of awareness: you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled here and now, as if the change is already accomplished. The moment you feel that the heart is open, the inner state shifts, and action follows from a renewed center. Do not argue with Pharaoh; illuminate the inner room with the recognition that the I AM is awake, and it can turn the scene by a deliberate revision. Your present stance is not etched in stone but in imagination; by imagining you have already yielded, you awaken the kingdom within.
