Inner Prison, Destiny's Door

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh’s anger is not an external decree but the bell of your own mind sounding at an offense you imagine toward your worth. The butler and the baker are inner states—hope and fear—offended by the command of the I AM. Their being cast into the prison of the captain of the guard mirrors the way you temporarily bind yourself when you forget your divine nature. Yet Joseph’s presence in that same house of confinement signals that the ruling power of God—your I AM—has already bound and then released the situation from within. The outer arrangement—delay, doubt, suspicion—tests your trust that Providence is at work, transforming imprisonment into a corridor toward the palace. The practice is simple: assume the feeling that the inner governor (the I AM) is directing the scene, regardless of appearances. In that assumption, the apparent prison dissolves, and the path to fulfillment appears.
