Read Exodus 9 in context

Scripture Focus

19Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

Exodus 9:19

Biblical Context

The verse commands gathering all in the field—your cattle and possessions—into a safe home, lest the hail fall on what remains exposed. It signals that outer appearances are the theater of inner choices.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse is a parable of inner consolidation. The 'field' is your outward life, the 'cattle' are your movable energies, projects, beliefs, and identities you have laid into the world. The hail that threatens those left in the field is the natural consequence of letting outer conditions govern your sense of reality. In Neville's language, God is the I AM within you, and imagination is the power by which you become aware of what you truly are. When you gather every energy and belief into the shelter of your inner state—calling forth the I AM as the owner of your life—you do not resist the storm; you change the air of the storm by changing the state from which you operate. The alarm of judgment dissolves as you realize you are the projector. The external field obeys the inner vision you hold as true. The call to bring in what you have in the field is a call to revision: assume a state in which you already own all you seek, and the outer world will reflect that certainty.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, breathe, then assume the state: I already possess all I seek; mentally bring every outward concern into the inner sanctuary, and feel it real as you close your eyes.
