Aaron’s Plea for Inner Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 12:11 voices the inner quarrel of a man and the yearning for release: the 'Aaron' state pleads to the 'Moses' law within, not to imprint guilt upon the self for actions deemed foolish. In Neville's sense, sin is a mis-thought, a temporary misalignment of the I AM with itself. The plea 'lay not the sin upon us' becomes a discipline of revision: refuse to identify with the act, stop dwelling in the story of fault, and return to the one awareness that is always untouched. The moment you interpret the scene as outer judgment, you betray your inner sovereignty; but when you reinterpret the scene as a correction by the inner I AM, you heal. The forgiveness lies in recognizing that you are not your mistake, but the consciousness that invited the experience. The act of turning toward Moses (the inner law) and yielding to mercy is a turning toward your true identity; guilt dissolves as you accept that the past can be rewritten in the present I AM. Thus repentance is not punishment, but a revision of the inner scene into a state of grace.
