Inner Exile, Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that My people denotes your inner being, the I AM, not a distant crowd. When you went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there, you are naming a period in consciousness when you believed yourself bound, a tenancy in a mental Egypt of limitation. The Assyrian oppressed them without cause points to persistent thoughts and habits that press on you, seemingly without justification, exactly because you have consented to the old state of mind. Yet there is no real oppression outside your own imagination. Neville teaches that your life is the dream of your I AM; by imagining a revision, you rewrite the scene. Do not fight the oppressor; revise the memory by declaring, I am now in the land of consciousness where there is no bondage, and feel it as real. In time, the outward situation conforms to the inner state, and the sense of exile dissolves into homecoming. You awaken to the truth that you are the one who grants reality to your experience, here and now.
