Inner Lot Casting and Order

Neville's Inner Vision

To the mind that seeks the throne of its own awareness, this chapter is not a record of ancient offices but a map of inner order. Shemaiah, the scribe, writing before the king, represents your own act of taking stock in consciousness, acknowledging the two principal streams within you—one aligned with Eleazar, the other with Ithamar. The division is not external bureaucracy but the inner recognition that different duties must be housed within the same temple of I AM. The drawing of lots is your moment-by-moment invitation to choose how your thoughts and feelings will serve your covenant loyalty. When the first lot goes to Jehoiarib and the second to Jedaiah, imagine that your primary function and your secondary vocation have found their rightful place under the authority of your awareness. Obedience to your inner law, faithfulness to the covenant you make with yourself, creates a stable order that the outer world simply reflects. Practice with the certainty that you have already assigned these roles in the theater of your mind, and your life will follow the alignment you have assumed.
