Flight of Faith to Egypt

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the flight to Egypt is a symbolic journey of consciousness. The angel of the Lord appearing in a dream is the I AM awakening within you, instructing Joseph to Arise and move the self to a safer inner chamber where fear cannot destroy the formation of your next divine idea. Herod is the personification of doubt, the old thinking that would annihilate your newborn state. Taking the child and his mother by night represents gathering your new states of awareness by instinct, and the exile to Egypt is an inner retreat into a secure field of imagination, where you attend to the still unborn actuality you are becoming. The death of Herod marks the end of the old belief system, and the prophecy is fulfilled in your own experience as you discover that your inner son has been called forth from the earth by your consistent imagining Out of Egypt have I called my son, proving that Providence follows the consciousness that refuses to be ruled by fear. Your life becomes a living exodus, not from place but from limitation into the realized state of I AM.
