Shelomith's Lineage Within Mind
Ezra 8:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezra 8:10 records Shelomith's lineage and 160 individuals. Here, the names and numbers symbolize inner faculties gathered around a single purpose.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner reading, the names become states of consciousness, not genealogical facts. Shelomith's line marks a fixed vantage, a dominant stance from which all other thoughts and feelings arise. Josiphiah is the mover of will within you; the hundred and sixty males are the manifold ideas, memories, habits, and energies that accompany a deliberate decision. When you attend to this line, the inner court becomes a single congregation under the authority of one chosen aim. The presence of God—your I AM awareness—binds these parts into unity; it is not a distant judge but the recognition that you are complete in the act of imagining. Your external world will follow the inner census you tend to. If you desire outward change, you do not chase new things; you revise the inner state, feeling that the entire inner assembly already stands with you, supporting your goal. Through imagination you align the many parts under one law, and reality bends to your assumed end.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Tonight, assume you are Shelomith's line, Josiphiah at the head, with 160 inner attendants all aligned to your chosen aim. Feel it real that this inner assembly supports you, and rest in that unity until sleep.
