Inner Mercy: Healing Through Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scene the 'sin' they fear is not a deed in time but a state of consciousness that has grown heavy in them. Aaron and Moses are inner faculties of your own awareness, caught in blame and in pity, so that the outer words reveal an inner drama of separation. When they say, 'lay not the sin upon us,' they acknowledge the power you have given to fear and judgment; when Moses cries, 'Heal her now,' that is your own higher self, the I AM, calling forth a reversal of the picture. Miriam, the one regarded as 'dead' in the old pattern, represents a part of you that seems prematurely wasted by negativity. The miracle is not a change in another, but a renewal of your awareness: you invoke healing by turning toward the one God within, and the image of sickness dissolves as you inhabit the state of wholeness. In this light, mercy becomes your practice of attention, and restoration follows your sustained belief in unity.
