Inner Heads of Reuben and Simeon

Neville's Inner Vision

Go inward and hear that the children named are not separate tribes but inside attitudes. Reuben, the firstborn, and Simeon, with their lines, symbolize the fresh, first-impulse mind and the disciplined heart that follows. In Neville's psychology, to know them is to know the states that govern your inner kingdom. The 'heads' are not genealogies but the ruling images you have of yourself, your family of beliefs, your covenant with life. They remind you that unity in your inner house depends on aligning the scattered fragments of your consciousness. When you acknowledge these heads—call them by name and invite their cooperation—you create a covenant of harmony. Providence becomes your felt sense that a single I AM is directing every movement, every relation. The verse invites you to observe how your inner household is organized, and how you channel this organization into outward acts. By identifying the heads and their families, you begin to govern your world through conscious imagining rather than reaction.
