Inner Mercy and Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the scene is not about a boy named Joseph, but about your inner states and their relations. The pit is a state of wilderness, fear, or separation; Reuben is the I AM—the self that chooses mercy—choosing not to kill but to reposition the inner impulse so it can return to its source. When Joseph is cast into the pit, it is not destruction but a temporary inner condition through which the idea of reunion with the Father is allowed to mature. The act of delivering him to his father represents the return of an integrated self to its true source, the I AM within. Mercy, then, is a state of consciousness that preserves life and guides it toward wholeness; your inner drama is redeemed by choosing not to annihilate but to hold the impulse in a form from which it can be rejoined with the Father. By revising the narrative in consciousness, you awaken Joseph to his rightful place in the divine family that is you.
