Biblical Context

The Levites appoint Heman, Asaph, Ethan and their brethren to lead singers and musicians, assigning brass cymbals, psalteries, and harps to exalt in worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this Scripture, the names are not mere persons but faculties of your own consciousness. Heman, Asaph, and Ethan stand as the triumphant choir of I AM, while the other brothers are the sustaining thoughts and energies that attend your worship. The porters guard the inner entry to your temple of awareness, and the instruments—brass cymbals, psalteries on Alamoth, and harps on the Sheminith—represent your feelings voiced in distinct keys: brass for clear, steadfast truth; the psaltery for rising faith; the harp for intimate adoration. When you hear these instruments within and grant them their appointed roles, you practice a state of consciousness that is holy and ordered. Worship, then, is not an external ceremony but a revision of your inner condition until you recognize that God is the I AM—the awareness that perceives itself as music. By aligning the various faculties into a harmonious chorus, you awaken the Presence within; the outer form becomes only a symbol of the inner reality, your consciousness singing its own name and acknowledging itself as source.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and mentally appoint Heman, Asaph, and Ethan as your inner chorus; hear brass cymbals, psalteries, and harps sounding in their distinct keys. Then declare, 'I am the I AM; this inner music is my state of consciousness as reality.'
