Line of Shemidah Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 7:19 is not a distant genealogical record but a map of your inner life. Shemidah is a line of consciousness, and its four sons—Ahian, Shechem, Likhi, and Aniam—are not strangers but four living modes you can awaken within. When you attend to them, you are choosing a state rather than awaiting a circumstance. Ahian speaks as constancy, a quiet, unwavering presence that holds your place; Shechem gathers peace, a settled center from which you observe; Likhi links your inner world to others; Aniam breathes possibility, the fresh energy that makes growth appear. The outward genealogy mirrors your capacity to align inner dispositions with a single sense of I AM. In Neville's view, the entire page reminds you that your awareness creates the line you walk, and unity arises when these inner states recognize and reflect one another in your life. The “sons” become guardrails of your consciousness, inviting you to live as one family under the One I AM.
