Today's exodus

PATRICIA S. KELSON

Today's exodus is an individual, ongoing adventure. One might say, "Yes, but the Exodus took place under the leadership of Moses in the thirteenth century B.C." What is that Exodus teaching us today? Isn't it an example of God, the I am, leading and guiding thought from its imprisoning bondage to new views of His goodness and mercy and into the Promised Land?

The Israelites were the slaves of Pharaoh, and gaining their freedom necessitated action. They had to rise up, take steps, and move away from bondage toward the Promised Land.

What is our human history telling us? It says that we are made of matter—born on a certain day, at a certain time, in a certain place, in a particular country; that we are male or female, and are of a certain color. It says that we have material ancestors and that they have passed down to us good characteristics and bad characteristics.
