Chief of the First Month

Neville's Inner Vision

I speak from the state of awareness: the lineage of Perez is the inner disposition that rises to govern the first month of your life. The verse does not exalt a distant king; it reveals that within you, a chief captain from your inner Perez leads all other faculties at the start of a new cycle. This chief is not a person but a quality of attention—discernment, order, and providence—selected to pilot the month. The 'host' is your day-to-day thoughts and impulses; the 'captains' are the various aspects of the self, each reporting to the leading state. When you acknowledge this inner chief, you invite a unity of purpose; you move from reaction to choice, from doubt to confident direction. This is a demonstration of Neville's law: imagination and consciousness precede manifestation. The founder of the month is your I AM, the awareness that organizes time from within, not from without. As you dwell in this recognition, you align your outer world with the already-chosen leadership that governs your experience.
