Inner Recollection at the Sea

Neville's Inner Vision

All scripture speaks of states of consciousness. Our fathers are not distant men but earlier states of your own mind; Egypt is the old conditioned self, the memory of lack and need. Wonders in Egypt are moments when your inner I AM displays its power, yet if you forget them they fade into memory and you drift toward the Red Sea of fear. The multitude of thy mercies are the constant, unseen favors of awareness—the felt sense that you are carried, provided for, supported. When you turn from recalling those mercies and look upon the sea as proof of limitation, you provoke Him at the sea—the test that seems to challenge your trust. The remedy is simple: return to the state of consciousness in which mercy is your normal condition; assume you are already through the Red Sea, that your desire is fulfilled, and feel it now. Imagination creates reality; when you remember and dwell in that merciful I AM, the sea becomes a path and your faith is restored.
