Three Baskets Of Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the chief baker is a state of pride—three baskets of self-image stacked high, each layer demanding a different praise. The uppermost basket, the bakemeats, is your need to be seen by Pharaoh—the outer world. Joseph’s words that the three baskets signify three days point to a temporary cycle in your mind, a shifting weather of belief. When the dream menaces that thy head shall be lifted up and birds eat thy flesh, see it as inner mechanics, not doom. The dream reveals that the self you call 'me' is being consumed by habitual thoughts unless you revise them. The inner interpreter, Joseph, is your I AM—the witness who can reinterpret the moving thoughts and re-anchor them in a truer image. If you assume a new version—now, as if you are already free—and feel it with I AM consciousness, the external conditions begin to adjust to match the inner verdict. The Pharaoh outside is the measure you give to yourself; the birds are stray thoughts that disappear when you hold the new self-image in mind.
