Inner Lineage of Consciousness
Genesis 10:22-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 10:22-23 lists the descendants of Shem and Aram, naming Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, Aram and Aram’s sons Uz, Hul, Gether, Mash.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this lineage, you are not tracing history but tracing states of consciousness. The children of Shem—Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, Aram—are voices of your mind, expressions of how you are aware. Elam breathes gentleness; Asshur charges the will; Arphaxad seeds the future; Lud is flexible and open; Aram surveys horizons. Aram's children Uz, Hul, Gether, Mash are the practical energies you use to live: Uz for bold ventures, Hul for rest and return, Gether for gathering with others, Mash for motion and action. The theme of family and marriage speaks to the relation of these energies within you; harmony arises when you stop fighting the lines of your own nature and instead unite them under one I AM. Neville teaches that you are the ruler of your inner kingdom, and your life will reflect the alignment you allow now. By imagining these states as beloved members of your inner household, you cultivate a reality founded on unity rather than division, here and now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the names as inner states within one I AM; feel them harmonize and then affirm, 'I am all of these now'.
