All-Inclusive Joy Before God

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this verse not as a census of social roles, but as a map of your inner life. The 'you' who rejoices is the I AM, the awareness that stands above thought; the people named are the many states of consciousness within you: sons and daughters as your inborn vitality and nurture; servants as discipline, service, and habits; the Levite—the inner priest who has no inheritance—representing the neglected, non-material aspects of consciousness that feel excluded from the feast of life. The command to rejoice 'before the LORD your God' means you affirm that all these inner states have a rightful presence in the kingdom you dwell in. The old outward logic of inheritance is replaced by inner recognition: you are not lacking a place in God’s joy, you are the joyous field that includes every fragment of your being. When you imagine this, your consciousness gathers in a circle before the living I AM, and the sense of separation dissolves. The verse invites you to unify your inner world in gratitude, transforming lack into abundance by feeling that every part of you belongs to the divine celebration.
