Inner Command to the Promised Land

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh’s simple instruction to Joseph’s brothers becomes a parable for your inner life. In Neville’s terms, Pharaoh stands as the outer mind, the state of consciousness that governs the scene, while Joseph—your already awakened sense of I AM—receives and passes the order to those inner parts that still worry about lack. The land of Canaan is the promised state, the place of fulfillment that exists now as you imagine it. Laden beasts are your faculties—desire, memory, reason, energy—loaded with your intention to move toward this inner country. The command to go to Canaan is the inner movement from doubt to trust; the brothers represent aspects of yourself that must be brought into alignment before the vision can be realized. When you accept Pharaoh’s word in imagination and dwell in the feeling of already being there, your outer circumstances begin to respond as if a seed has germinated in the soil of consciousness. This is the scripture teaching: act from the end, and the world follows.
