Neville's Inner Vision

This roster is not mere history; it is a map of your inner cabinet. Each name stands for a facet of your consciousness: Ahiezer as steadfast faith, Joash and Jeziel as discernment, Ismaiah as a mighty will, and the over the thirty as the governing unity of your soul. The labels suggest a hierarchy within your psyche, with Providence arranging these faculties for a shared purpose. The Korhites and Jeroham lineage speak of memory and continuity you carry within. When you read this as Neville, you see David’s army as your inner life in action: a coordinated company of traits that, when aligned, yield effective action in the world. The gift is not new virtues but the harmony of what you already possess, guided by the I AM. Trust that your inner council is orderly and benevolent, and your sense of self expands as order and dignity settle into your daily experience.
