Inner Genealogy Of Self
Ezra 2:37-38 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezra 2:37-38 lists the children of Immer and Pashur. It is a straightforward genealogical record.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture Immer and Pashur not as distant clans but as inner states of consciousness. The children, counted in the verse, are not separate people out there; they are the myriad movements of awareness that take birth within you when you align with your I AM. Immer’s line evokes steadiness, tradition, loyalty to a larger order, while Pashur’s line calls forth structure, protection, and the energetic of organizing life around a shared purpose. The numbers—tallies of offspring—become a map of your inner community. Neville’s method would have you interpret these counts as the density and distribution of your attention’s dwellings. If you desire a different outward reality, you do not change the world first; you revise the consciousness that births it. Assume that your inner kin are already complete, that Providence cherishes this inner assembly, and that the I AM is the source of every form you perceive. When you feel that truth as real—living from the sense, I AM, and this inner family is well provided for—the outer conditions align to reflect it.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM the father and mother of all the tribes within me; my inner kin are complete.' Feel this truth as real and let the inner counts settle into harmony; notice how your sense of Providence shifts to support you.
