Inner Test of Truth and Imagination

Neville's Inner Vision

Joseph's test is your inner state testing itself. The scene is not history, but a play of consciousness: the brothers are inner faculties clinging to a story of lack; imprisonment is the mind's belief in separation. The decree 'By the life of Pharaoh' is the ego-identity's authority you have given to the sense that you are bound. The three days of confinement are a symbolic pause for you to revise your assumptions: you cannot go forth until your inner truth is ready to be acknowledged. When you are told to fetch your youngest brother, see that as calling forth innocence and the desired inner harmony within you. Your words are said to be proven—this is a mirror: do your statements reflect your true nature or do they reveal fear? Neville teaches that you are not at the mercy of outward appearances; you are the I AM, and imagination creates reality. By assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you can allow the outer scene to align with your inner conviction that you are already free and principled. The 'proof' arrives as a sudden alignment where inner trust becomes external life.
