Inner Gates of Consciousness

1 Chronicles 26:17-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 26 in context

Scripture Focus

17Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two.
18At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.
19These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.
1 Chronicles 26:17-19

Biblical Context

These verses describe the organized divisions of the porters across directions, signaling structured service. They highlight how holiness and separation are expressed through order in one's inner life.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines are not a map of distant gates, but a map of your own inner sanctuary. Eastward, northward, Parbar—directions stand for streams of attention you choose to entertain. The numbers—six, four, two—are not random tallies; they signify disciplined divisions of your awareness, each kept at the gate by devotion and order. By shifting your focus and imagining yourself as the porter, you acknowledge that your thoughts do not wander at random but are under the governance of the I AM present in you. Kore and Merari become symbols for different faculties—memory, intention, breath, worship—each serving under one consciousness. When you accept that your work and vocation are the same act as true worship, you practice holiness as separation from distraction rather than withdrawal from life. The presence you seek is not outside; it is the consistent, loving ordering of your inner states, so that life itself becomes a liturgy in motion.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the role of the gatekeeper at the east gate of your mind. Revise scattered thoughts into orderly divisions and feel the I AM reigning there.
