Inner Dwellings of Unity

Neville's Inner Vision

Within me, the names are not relics of old times but a map of my inward kingdom. Obadiah and his kin, sprung from Jeduthun and Elkanah, are states of that I AM that dwell not on distant lands but in the quiet villages of my own mind—the Netophathites: humble, ordinary places where life gathers. When I align with the feeling of belonging, with the sense that every thread of lineage in my heart has value, I begin to see my family, my community, and my dignity reflected in the world outside me. The 'Netophathites' are the lowly corners of self where unity can be cultivated; the names form a chorus of praise and order, reminding me that my inner life has structure, memory, and purpose. By affirming that I am the source of this dwelling, I release scarcity and discord and invite harmony, kinship, and respect for human dignity as imaged in all beings. So the verse invites me to inhabit a state of unity within, and to let it be the air my relationships breathe.
