Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, Benjamin is the unity of consciousness, and Bela, Becher, and Jediael symbolize the inner faculties that you cultivate. The five sons of Bela—Ezbon, Uzzi, Uzziel, Jerimoth, and Iri—represent discernment, courage, initiative, fidelity, and insight. They stand as heads of the inner house, not as distant lineage but as active powers present now. When you acknowledge your inner genealogies, you are recounting the very structures of your awareness—your remembered states, self-conceptions, and repeat experiences—until the total declares, You are this consciousness presently. The emphasis on being ‘mighty in valour’ invites you to embody dignity as your natural state, to see that your inner kingdom is orderly and endowed with worth. The verse does not separate history from self; it reveals that your current I AM recognizes and governs these noble parts. You are the living record of your becoming, and by revision and imagination you may affirm the end you desire as already true in you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume Bela, head of your inner house. Feel the five powers—discernment, courage, initiative, fidelity, and insight—already functioning as your own; acknowledge their unity and let this felt realization become your present state.
