Inner Lineage of 1 Chronicles 8:36

Neville's Inner Vision

Here we see a map of inner birth rather than a record of history. The names are not external figures; they are anchors for states of consciousness that arise in the mind in sequence. 'Ahaz' births 'Jehoadah,' and so on—the chain is the movement of imagination, a new disposition arising from the previous one. In Neville's psychology, the genealogical line becomes the continuous act of the I AM awareness giving rise to further forms of itself. The lineage shows that a starting thought or feeling will, under steady attention, unfold into another quality of experience—a living, breathing branch of your inner garden. If you desire a different outcome, you do not alter outer events; you revise the inner preface. By assuming the role of creator who births these descendants, you shift from spectator to author of your next inner generation. This is how present thought becomes the next chapter of your life, a fresh branch that springs from the same root of awareness.
