Azel's Inner Lineage Within
1 Chronicles 8:33-38 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses trace a lineage from Ner to Azel and his six sons, outlining a stable line of kin and community. In Neville's sense, this genealogy becomes a map of inner states that sustain unity and dignity within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, the names are not merely people but states of consciousness moving within you. Ner is the root awareness that births Kish, and Kish births Saul, and Saul births Jonathan and the others—the succession of inner dispositions that govern your sense of self. Each generation is an inner movement: authority (Kish), rulership (Saul), companionship (Jonathan), and the rest appearing as channels through which life flows. Azel, at the end of the line, holds six sons—Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan—symbolizing the six faculties or tendencies you can steward. Far from a distant genealogy, the passage invites you to notice how your inner kinship shapes your outer world. When you believe that the One I AM is the source of all your relations, you align these states into a unified community within you. The lineage becomes a living assurance that your dignity and unity are not earned from without but realized inwardly by attention and imaginative assumption.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and trace Ner to Azel in your mind, letting each generation symbolize an inner quality you wish to embody. Assume the unity now: I AM the source of all my kin; feel it-real as the one life animating every aspect of you.
