Return of the Inner Egypt

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, the Egyptians are not a foreign power but a state of consciousness within you—an impulse to dominate, to prove power, to rule others in thought or deed. The 'end of forty years' marks a season of inner purification, a letting go of old alignments, the moment you stop identifying with that empire and invite a new habitation into your mind. When God says I will gather them from exile and return them to Pathros, He speaks of returning those energies to the land you inhabit—the I AM that is aware of itself. Egypt becomes 'the basest kingdom' precisely when its power is seen as temporary and empty of ultimate authority. The diminishing of them is not punishment but a reordering of your inner government: you withdraw your belief in their rule and you assume a state that no longer seeks to dominate. In this inner climate, exile dissolves into a calm homecoming, and the Kingdom of God—your true sovereignty as awareness—begins to rule by quiet, loving discernment rather than external might.
