Inner Journey Through the Wilderness

Neville's Inner Vision

I see the children of Israel as the expanding consciousness within me, a procession of inner states charting a path from bondage to liberty. Rameses symbolizes my present belief in limitation, the stubborn sense of bondage that keeps me rooted in a story of lack. Succoth is the first shelter I offer the I AM in form—provisional security that holds but does not satisfy. Etham, at the edge of the wilderness, marks the moment I become aware that more is possible, that the edge of the known is really the doorway of the new creation. To turn toward Pihahiroth before Baalzephon—before the great waters—is to face fear by trusting the imaginative act: God is I AM, not a distant tyrant but the living awareness within me. The camping before Migdol—the watchtower—is the moment I choose to observe without panic, letting the inner vision guide me. Each movement is not a march of bodies but a revision of belief, a renaming of the terrain inside until the land of milk and honey becomes present-tense reality.
