Dwelling Within Inner Borders
1 Chronicles 5:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ahi, son of Abdiel and Guni, is named chief of the ancestral house, and they dwelt in Gilead, Bashan, and Sharon on their borders. This portrays settled presence and belonging within their community.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read this as Neville is to see that Ahi is not a person but a state of consciousness—the ruling I AM at the head of your inner house. The 'house of their fathers' are the inherited patterns you carry; the land names—Gilead, Bashan, Sharon—are inner territories formed by where your attention has settled. When you assume and dwell in those borders, you are practicing the art of imagination: you build a kingdom within, and the outer life arranges itself to reflect that image. The presence of God is the steady awareness that does not blink or wander; it sits on the throne of your mind, keeping your borders secure. The leadership described is internal mastery: you declare, accept, and continue to inhabit a coherent state. The verse invites you to tend your inner settlements with fidelity, to keep your community of thoughts united, and to place the I AM at the center of every boundary.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume, 'I am the ruler of my inner land; my awareness dwells across all my inner borders.' Feel it real by breathing the sensation of settled peace.
