Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's cadence: The names are not dead names on a page; they are inner states of consciousness. In the I AM that you are, every name marks a facet of your awareness coming into being. Assir and Salathiel, Malchiram and Pedaiah, are not people so much as the movements of mind you allow to flow within. The line Zerubbabel, Meshullam, Hananiah, Shelomith, and so forth, becomes the inner succession of authority and restoration—the rebuilding of the temple of your own awareness. Elioenai and his sons symbolize the later generations of states that arise when the ruler within you continues to reign. When you dwell in this inner genealogy, you see that the Kingdom of God is not a distant event but a present condition built by your assumption and feeling. The kingdom grows as you move from a sense of there to a sense of I AM here, now. The page becomes a mirror of your mind, the lineage the stream of consciousness you permit to rule your life. Each name invites you to revise the sense of limitation and to affirm that you are, and always have been, the authority.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a scroll listing the inner states named in the genealogy; pick one—Elioenai as Inner Prayer—and feel it real in you now, as the I AM quietly rebuilding your inner kingdom.
