Two Sticks, One Hand

Neville's Inner Vision

I see Ezekiel's command as an invitation to your inner realm, where you are both Judah and Joseph. Judah stands for loyalty to the covenant—steadiness, order, practicality—while Joseph embodies the dispersed tribes, the promise, and the wider possibilities of your mind. In your present awareness these are not two rivals; they are two inhabitants of a single inner land. God, the I AM, does not battle with outward powers; He bids these two sticks be joined in your hand, a decisive inner act. When you picture the two sticks becoming one in your hand, you are not waiting for unity on some later day; you are re-creating it now. The Kingdom of God appears as a single field of consciousness where loyalty and promise merge into one movement. Feel the sensation of oneness as if you are already holding one straight stick bearing both names, and know your entire being is covenant with itself. This is more than symbolism; it is your inner decree, the imaginative act that births coherence in life and turns imagination into the architecture of your experience.
