Counting the Inner Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the verse not as a historical census but as a map of your inner state. Amaziah’s army is the organized thoughts, memories, and habits of Judah — your mental powers — set under the order of the I AM. The captains over thousands and hundreds are the commanding beliefs that direct your life; the houses of their fathers are the inherited patterns of thinking you carry. To number them from twenty years old and above is to acknowledge a matured state of consciousness ready to act. The three hundred thousand are the possibilities your beliefs can marshal when engaged by imagination. Before a single arrow is drawn, you decide the structure of your inner kingdom; you arrange the army to go forth to war in alignment with an elevated purpose. This is the secret: the outer world is a reflection of how you marshal your inner powers. Use your imagination to organize and direct those powers; feel the I AM as the captain who gives the order to arise and form reality.
