Inner Exile, Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra's census speaks not to literal numbers but to the inner census of your soul. Each family name is a facet of consciousness in your being—Parosh, Shephatiah, Arah, Jeshua and Joab—phrased as states you once scattered by exile, now gathered as one company around your central I AM. The return from exile is your recalling of forgotten powers, a rearrangement of the inner camp so that unity speaks to your daily life. The governor-like order of the listing is a reminder that your inner territory can be organized into living departments of virtue: patience, faith, discipline, healing, curiosity. As you acknowledge and welcome these tribes back, you cease to be a scattered caravan and become a home, a temple of awareness. The number itself matters less than the fact that you persist in calling them home, until the whole house of your mind stands in reverent order, ready to act from wholeness rather than lack.
