Inner Captain of the Month

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the verse as a map of your own consciousness. The third month’s captain, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, is not an external man but a symbol of your inner stewardship—the part of you that stands in the priestly hall of awareness and speaks as the I AM. When you read that in his course were twenty-four thousand, hear it as the rhythm of your disciplined thoughts and deeds moving in unison under an awakened presence. The 'third' month marks a phase in your inner year, a time to serve rather than strive, to let holiness steer your choices. Benaiah, a chief priest, embodies the authority by which you consecrate your daily tasks; the thousands are the many inner movements that align to one purpose when seen through the eye of faith. Neville teaching: you do not seek to gain God from without; you awaken the steward within, the priest of your own heart, and life reorganizes to match your assumed state. Let your consciousness dwell in that man—the captain of order—and your experience follows.
