Mourning to Beriah: Inner Birth
1 Chronicles 7:22-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ephraim mourned; his brothers came to comfort him. Later, when he united with his wife, she conceived, and a son Beriah was born, symbolizing how inner turmoil can birth a new state of consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read faithfully, the chapter is not about history but about your inner life. Mourning is the felt disruption in your state of awareness; the brothers' comfort is the gentle ideas that ease the pain. Going in to the wife represents the union of your assertive self with the receptive feminine aspect of consciousness, from which a new way of being emerges. Beriah's birth is the seed of a new pattern—the 'evil' state not as doom but as raw material for a higher order. Neville teaches that what matters is the assumption you hold: that you already inhabit the new birth, that the house has shifted, and that reality aligns with that inner fact. When you hold that conviction, the outer scene reflects your inner state, and sorrow becomes the parent of a fresh, constructive presence.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, assume the I AM is presiding, and mentally birth Beriah as a new pattern in your life. Feel the comfort as already real and let the old trouble dissolve.
