Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that these names are not characters of distant history but signs of inner states coexisting within the I AM. Each 'son'—Hori, Homam, Alian, Manahath, Ebal, Shephi, Onam, Aiah, Anah, Dishon, Amram, Eshban, Ithran, Cheran, Bilhan, Zavan, Jakan, Uz, Aran—appears as a facet of consciousness arising in your mind. The lineage under Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan is a map of how your inner life is organized: loyalties, memories, desires, and fears operating in harmony or tension. Neville teaches that places and people are states of consciousness; the genealogy shown here is your inner family tree. By choosing one state as dominant—covenant loyalty to the I AM—you compact generations of conflicting impulses into a single living present. Each time you attend to a line of descent with awareness, you invite its power, and the many 'sons' fall into alignment under a single, steady awareness. The result is that your outward world reflects the inner order you have assumed. The inner practice is simple: dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and let your inner lineage become your present reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, select a desired inner state (e.g., unity or loyalty). Picture a tree of your inner lineage where each branch is a facet of consciousness, and affirm, 'I am the ancestor of this line,' feeling that state as your immediate reality.
