Inner Lineage of Being
1 Chronicles 4:1-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, this chapter lists Judah’s sons and their lines, tracing a web of families. It speaks to origin, memory, and the way a people is formed in community.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the names you hear the inner movements of your own consciousness. Each title—Pharez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, Shobal, and the rest—becomes a facet of your being that you permit or commission into life. The lineages of Zorathites and the family of Etam point to the layered ancestry of your thoughts, beliefs, and choices; Hazelelponi—the sister—signifies unity and a wholeness you must honor. Providence is not a distant plan but the I AM moving in you, making possible the alignment of your inner states with outer events. When you imagine a lineage of harmonious traits, you are not replaying history; you are rehearsing the present conditions of your mind, and the world bends into that condition. Your community, your sense of belonging, grows as your inner dispositions affiliate, cooperate, and rise in unity under the guidance of the I AM. The list becomes a map of how attention gathers and manifests; the ‘families’ you attend to are the ones that determine what you live.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in quiet and choose one trait you want to cultivate; assume you already possess a living lineage of that trait, feel it in your chest, revise any doubt until it feels real, and notice one small outward sign today.
