Crossing the Inner Sea

Neville's Inner Vision

All these verses are not about past events in time, but about states of consciousness you inhabit now. The exodus is your move from a fixed, fearful state to a living I AM. The Red Sea is the boundary between who you were and who you are becoming; the Egyptians are doubts and habits that would pursue you with chariots of memory. When the people cried unto the LORD, the 'darkness between you and the Egyptians' is not a physical darkness but a turning of attention—your awareness now shuts out the old scene and concentrates on the inner reality that is already done. The sea closing over them is your old conditions being swallowed by the new state you assume. Your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: you have the memory of successful shifts—proof that your inner power exists. You dwelt in the wilderness a long season: the present moment may feel like a long desert, yet it is the training ground by which you are formed into the liberated state. By faith, you do not wait for a future deliverance; you awaken it within, here, now.
