Biblical Context

Ezra 2:55-57 lists the descendants of Solomon's servants, tracing a lineage among the returning community. It frames family, unity, and service as an inner reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

I read this page as a map of your inner temple. Solomon's servants are not a distant pedigree; they are the disciplined faculties serving your awareness—the quiet workers behind your thoughts. Their children, the lines named in Ezra, symbolize the daily expressions of that service: habits, moments of fidelity to your higher aims, thoughts that support harmony rather than chaos. Exile and return become a state of consciousness: you may feel separated from your wholeness, yet the returning is simply the I AM re-aligning with its own law. Within you, a community of inner beings unites when you refuse to allow discord to govern your mind. The emphasis on family and unity points to the wholeness of self: you are not a collection of random thoughts but a body of worthy, orderly purposes that endure beyond passing feelings. By assuming the line of lineage as your own nature, you awaken the memory that you already reside in the temple of your own creation, the I AM here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe three times, and assume: I am the line of servants, a lineage of conscious unity. Feel as if these inner faculties are already at work shaping your life into harmony.
