Inner Faith of Moses

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, faith is a state of consciousness: Moses did not literally turn away from a throne, but from the thought-identity that he was the son of Pharaoh's daughter. The moment he came of age is the inner decision that his true self is the I AM, not a title or a palace. He esteems the reproach of Christ—meaning the indwelling divine idea—greater riches than any Egyptian gold, because the interior wealth is the recompense of the reward already present as awareness. By choosing to suffer affliction with the people of God, he aligns his inner life with the divine presence and refuses fear of the outer king, seeing Him who is invisible as the ruler of his life. Thus, Moses demonstrates how to shift outer circumstance by inner conviction, letting the imagining of the unseen become the felt truth of today's consciousness, and acting from that assured sense of self until the world reflects it back.
