Inner Captains of Gad

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse the Gadite captains are not distant generals but states of consciousness within you. The least captain over a hundred represents a small, habitual pattern of thought you exercise through attention and choice, while the greatest over a thousand shows the immense field you can command when you awaken to you as the I AM. The host is your entire mental army: beliefs, memories, desires, fears—ordered by the sovereign decree of consciousness. When you claim the status of ruler, you reverse the script: your imagination becomes the marshal, and the day-to-day events begin to march in step with your inner decree. The moment you stand in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the inner captains align, and the outer scene begins to respond. Remember, God is not elsewhere; God is the I AM within, and your job is not to plead but to assume. Practice this: adopt the state that would be true if your desire were already realized; feel it now; refuse doubt; let your inner hosts move in obedience to your assumption. The least captain obeys the new order, and the thousand-fold life follows.
