Neville's Inner Vision

Within Genesis 14:4, the twelve years of service are not a history of others but a record of your inward compliance with a worn belief. The thirteenth year is not a chronological accident but the moment your imagination refuses to serve a worn pattern any longer. You are not bound by the external scene; you are the I AM perceiving through a favored state of consciousness. When you accept that your awareness is the reality and that all events arise from your inner motion, the long bondage loosens. The word 'they' dissolves into 'I', and the rebel impulse becomes your inner command to awaken to liberty. In Neville's terms, salvation is the revision of what you have accepted as real; liberation flows as you persist in imagining the loved and desired state as already true. Let the memory of twelve years yield to your present I AM declaring freedom here and now, and feel the emotional equivalence of that liberty. The shift is not conquest from an outer power, but recognition of your inner governor; pretend and feel it real until your world follows your inner decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In the present tense, assume 'I AM free now' and feel the relief as real. Then revise the memory of twelve years as bondage into a scene of effortless liberty.
