Inner Return of Kin and Unity

Neville's Inner Vision

All those names and towns are not steps of geography but designations of states within you. The exile is the belief in separation, the return is the moment when your I AM consciousness aligns every portion of yourself that has wandered. Bethlehem, Netophah, Anathoth, Azmaveth, Kirjatharim and the others are not places you visit, but the facets of your mind you choose to acknowledge as already here. When you read the list, you are not reconciling lineage of a people in history; you are awakening the inner kinship of your own being. Each line marks a disposition you decide to reenter as authentic now. The unity of the community emerges as you refuse to divide yourself into fragments and instead declare I am one with all the towns, all the tribes, all the memories that have formed you. The return is a reclaiming of your center, the I AM; the exiles are the doubts you release as you stand in the certainty that you are complete. In this mood the numbers cease to measure distance and become affirmations of an undivided self.
