Counting the Inner Congregation

Neville's Inner Vision

See the census as a picture of your inner state, not a ledger of outward bodies. The 'whole congregation together' is the moment your I AM gathers every facet of consciousness into one circle of awareness. The number 42,360 is not arithmetic so much as a symbol of complete alignment: faith, memory, imagination, courage, and desire all standing as one before the Presence. When you dwell with this, you are not counting people; you are naming the disciplined harmonies of your own being that worship God within. In this view, the census becomes a practice: you revise any sense of separation by affirming, I am one with all my faculties now united in the single Presence. Imagine yourself as the census-taker of your soul, tallying 42,360 aspects that support your divine purpose. As you imagine this, you awaken the inner atmosphere where God resides and recognize that you are the I AM. The inner town becomes a temple of peace, and your outward life will reflect that unity as you walk in awareness.
