From Plagues to Miracles: The Transformational Journey of Exodus, From the Slavery of Ego to the Promised Land of Spirit

In From Plagues to Miracles, psychiatrist Robert Rosenthal offers a remarkable new understanding of Exodus in which the figures of Pharaoh and Moses represent opposing aspects of the human mind. Pharaoh is that part of the mind that sees itself as separate from God and Spirit: the limited ego-mind of A Course in Miracles. Moses represents the part of the mind that is and has always been in full, direct connection with God and Spirit. And the Hebrews represent us—all of us, regardless of religious affiliation. Their trials are a mirror of our own spiritual dilemma as we’re tossed back and forth between ego and Spirit— Pharaoh and Moses, plagues and miracles—while striving to find our way to the Promised Land of inner peace and freedom. Viewed in this way, Exodus becomes a travel guide for the spiritual seeker, a roadmap for navigating the different stages of the spiritual journey—the rough terrain that stands between us and a direct, abiding relationship with Spirit. The current edition is a reprint of the original, first published by Hay House in 2012.
