Egypt's Desolation to Inner Gathering

Neville's Inner Vision

Egypt stands for a state of consciousness—the land inside where awareness has wandered from the God within. The forty years of desolation are not a historical timeline but a rhythm of inner withdrawal, a season when thoughts and beliefs lie quiet. The dispersion of the Egyptians into many nations mirrors how faculties—imagination, memory, desire, fear—can feel scattered and unrelated to one another. Yet the Lord's word here is a present promise: at the end of this period they are gathered again to one place. In Neville's practice, this is not about geography but inner alignment. The end of desolation comes when you assume it is already true, feel the wholeness of I AM, and revise every sense of separation until the scattered parts return to your center. Imagination creates reality; by conceiving the end as present, you reverse the desert with a single act of inner faith.
