Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as a map of your own consciousness. Obededom represents your household of awareness, and his eight sons are eight states rising within you—each named and named again—yet all blessed by the Source you call God. The phrase 'for God blessed him' is not a distant event but a reminder that blessing is an inner alignment of I AM with what you entrust to your mind. When Shemaiah's sons are described as ruling throughout the house of their father, they become the ruling faculties of your inner kingdom: courage, discernment, order, vitality, loyalty, insight, strength, and vision. These are not separate personalities but living directions of consciousness that you permit to govern your daily inner weather. The blessing marks a shift from lack to abundance, from contention to unity, as your inner world honors every member of the family of thought. In Neville's terms, you are assembling a household that reflects your divine state; the more you feel blessed, the more your inner rulers proliferate and harmonize your life. Remember: imagination creates reality—the state you entertain becomes the surroundings you inhabit.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am blessed; my inner house is ruled by valiant faculties.' Visualize Obededom's eight sons rising in your mind as virtues guiding your days.
