Sabbath Mercy Within

Neville's Inner Vision

That scene is not history alone; it is you in your own consciousness. The Sabbath is a state of awareness, a resting in the I AM where you know yourself as one with God. The 'hypocrite' within clings to rules, but the true speaker asks for mercy: what is bound by law is already loosened by recognition of your unity with life. The woman, a daughter of Abraham, symbolizes the self that has believed in bondage—Satan as a thought of separation. To be loosed on the Sabbath is to revise that story, to feel the living reality that you are free here and now. Your ox and ass are appetite and duty; when you realize you are water and the source, they are led to watering by the inner decision that you are already whole. The eighteen years melt as you claim your birthright of freedom. You are not condemned but awakened; you are the son or daughter of Abraham, inheriting liberation by the simple act of acknowledging I AM as your constant self. As you dwell in that awareness, the outer scene will reflect your inner release.
