Inner Sons of Shimhi Unity
1 Chronicles 8:21-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
1 Chronicles 8:21–23 lists the sons of Shimhi by name: Adaiah, Beraiah, Shimrath, Ishpan, Heber, Eliel, Abdon, Zichri, and Hanan. It presents an orderly enumeration that can become an inner map of your faculties.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's framework, every name is a state of consciousness. The list is not genealogical trivia but an invitation to regard your mind as a household, with each facet and impulse as a 'son' of Shimhi who supports the living unity of the whole. The repeated names indicate order and harmony rather than conflict; the inner council is complete when you acknowledge and welcome every aspect—counsel, memory, desire, quiet, and resolve. The Presence of God is not distant but the I AM that calls forth these sons and names them, granting them a place within your awareness. As you imagine the scene, you realize that the "family" you attend to is a projection of the self one with God; the unity you seek is already present in your inner arrangement. By reviving the sense that each inner voice is cherished and given voice, you align your state of consciousness with the truth of oneness. When you feel this, the outer conditions reflect a tranquil, cooperative order, and you move through life with a steady sense of belonging to the divine I AM.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling that you are the I AM, the sovereign observer, and invite each inner facet (the named 'sons') to stand present in your mind as a harmonious family. Then revise any sense of separation by quietly declaring, 'I am one mind, all parts working together in peace.'
