Inner Rulers of the Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider these lines as a map of the inner kingdom. The Hebronites and Jerijah symbolize the states of your own consciousness—the 'I AM' within—that are called forth in due season to govern your thoughts and loyalties. The fortieth year of David’s reign marks a maturity in awareness: when the inner rulers are needed, mighty men of valour rise from your hidden generations, the Jazer of Gilead within you becoming a stronghold of steadfast insight. The two thousand seven hundred chief fathers are not numbers to be counted but faculties you enlist: courage, obedience, loyalty, and the discernment to separate God’s affairs from mere appearances. By appointing these rulers to oversee ‘every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king,’ you are aligning your inner governance with divine order and practical life. In Neville’s teaching, the world outwardly mirrors your inner state; the act of appointing rulers is an act of shifting your awareness into a state where God and king (conscience and righteous action) reign together. This is not about history but about your readiness to inhabit a renewed self, where decisions spring from the I AM and carry divine authority into every moment.
