Issachar's Inner Armies

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the names on the list are not distant names but faculties of awareness. The sons of Issachar—Tola, Puah, Jashub, Shimrom—stand as doors through which perception enters your life; they are the diverse functions of your mind when you still it to listen. The heads of their father's house—Uzzi, Rephaiah, Jeriel, Jahmai, Jibsam, Shemuel—are the organizing principles by which you marshal energy toward a chosen image. When you read of valiant men of might, you are looking at the mighty thoughts and steadfast feelings that cooperate with your intention. The phrase in the days of David marks a present tense: the inner king is awake, and you, the I AM, rule. Bands of soldiers for war represent disciplined mental movements—planning, focus, persistence, and alignment with your vision. They grew large because you entertain many wives and sons—your many desires and outcomes—yet they are kept in order by obedience to the king within. The whole genealogical masterwork invites you to see your life as unity guided by discernment, guarded by the steady hand of consciousness, and lived as an unapologetic kingship within.
