Territories of the Inner Tribe

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader of today, these verses are not about geography but about the geography of your inner life. The 'sons of Gershom' symbolize states of consciousness you entertain within; the half-tribe of Manasseh hints at a durable, memory-laden identity you carry as I AM. When the text mentions 'Golan in Bashan with her suburbs' and 'Ashtaroth with her suburbs,' it is naming the suburbs—the peripheral movements of thought that drift toward fear, attachment, or habit. Each named city points to a facet of your being: Kedesh as a sanctuary of right decision; Ramoth as the hill where insight is welcomed; Mashal and Abdon as channels through which you exercise governance and creative will; Hukok and Rehob as quiet rooms of practice and gratitude. The listing of tribes and their suburbs reveals that true unity begins in an inner topography where every part has its place under the I AM, the Self that never changes. In Neville's practice, you do not wrest the land from others; you revise your inner map until you feel the whole territory is already yours because awareness alone is king. Your imagination is the governor; let it cast the borders and populate them with peace and stewardship.
