1 Chronicles 8:8-11

Biblical Context

Shaharaim fathered children in Moab after sending some away, and the passage lists his sons who become heads of their tribes. It also notes that from Hushim he begat Abitub and Elpaal, expanding the inner lineages.

Neville's Inner Vision

Shaharaim is a picture of a state of consciousness in you. In the land of Moab, a realm of attachment and desire, a fresh line of awareness can be born only after you release what no longer serves. The names of his sons—Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcham, Jeuz, Shachia, Mirma—represent distinct movements of thought that rise as you acknowledge a foundation already laid. Each 'head of the fathers' indicates a segment of your mind whose order creates outward life. The mention that from Hushim he begat Abitub and Elpaal shows that even secondary channels of thought can birth further forms when tended with intention. The vital lesson is that your imagination, guided by the I AM, is the creator of your inner lineage; what you allow to unfold in consciousness becomes your outer experience of unity, dignity, and community.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a calm moment, assume you are Shaharaim in your mind and release old patterns that no longer serve. Then name new states Abitub and Elpaal as living qualities and feel the I AM presence birth them.
