Crossing Jordan: Peaceful Alignment
1 Chronicles 12:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses recount neighbors crossing the Jordan and joining David; David welcomes peaceful assistance and warns that betrayal will be rebuked.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, these verses are a map of inner states. Crossing Jordan is the psyche moving from one crowded, overflown condition into a new dominion of awareness. The first-month crossing signals a fresh start, when the old banks of doubt overflowed and yet a choice remains: to enter into alignment with a higher purpose. The Benjamin and Judah who come to the hold unto David are the loyal faculties of consciousness—courage, fidelity, and cooperative will—reaching toward the center of your being where your I AM dwells. When they come peaceably to help, David’s heart being knit to them is your inner reconciliation: you accept these allied states as one sovereign you. On the other hand, the warning is your awareness of what you resist in yourself—the temptation to betray your true aims to fear or self-doubt. Yet the verse reassures: there is no wrong in the hands of your current self; the God of your fathers (your higher I AM) looks and rebukes the misalignment. So, align, affirm, feel the unity, and your reality shifts to reflect it.
Practice This Now
Place your hand on your chest, close your eyes, and repeat: I am peaceably united with those parts of me that serve my purpose; every movement now harmonizes with my higher self.
