Inner Lineage of Mind

1 Chronicles 4:25-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 4 in context

Scripture Focus

25Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.
26And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, Shimei his son.
27And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brethren had not many children, neither did all their family multiply, like to the children of Judah.
1 Chronicles 4:25-27

Biblical Context

Plainly, the passage traces Mishma’s line and Shimei’s many children, noting some branches multiply while others do not, unlike Judah.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here you are asked to see this list as the inner map of your mind. Every son and daughter stands for a tendency, an impulse, or a capability. Shimei’s sixteen sons and six daughters symbolize a lush, multiplying energy when the mind rests in the I AM and concentrates its attention upon unity. The brethren who did not multiply reflect neglected or scattered faculties that have not been drawn into a cohesive center. The note that they did not multiply, like the children of Judah, is not a judgment; it is a suggestion that a certain center—an inner tribe, a core of shared purpose—dominates and thus expands. The I AM, God within, is the root that gives growth to the branches; when you align your inner focus with a single hive of life (the inner Judah), your thoughts, feelings, and perspectives cooperate and reproduce themselves in your experience. This is not about external lineage but about the alignment of states of consciousness that produce external results. When you feel as the observer of this inner family, you can invite the flourishing line through unity.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is the head of your inner family; revise any sense of lack by imagining Shimei’s sixteen sons and six daughters thriving now, and declare I AM the root and the branch; your inner tribe multiplies in harmony with the I AM.
