Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 9:35-38 appears as a map of inner life rather than mere lineage. Jehiel stands as the I AM over an inner household; Maachah is the beloved atmosphere of your inner world; Abdon, Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, Mikloth are successive states of mind—trusts, memories, pictures, and beliefs. The line that they dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem—across from their brethren—becomes an inner alignment, a dwelling place within the city of your mind where all parts gather in harmony. This is not distant geography but your current field of awareness, where unity with God is possible when you turn inward. The presence of God is the ever-present I AM, resident in the shared life of your inner tribe. The passage invites you to recognize that your internal family can inhabit a single Jerusalem—your mind’s center—when you exercise quiet assumption and feel-kindled union with the divine within.

Practice This Now

Assume you are Jehiel, head of your inner Gibeon; picture Maachah as your serene inner atmosphere. Then mentally invite Abdon, Zur, Kish, and the rest to dwell with you in your inner Jerusalem, opposite any discord. Close your eyes, feel the unity, and declare, I AM here; I AM one with all my inner brethren.
