Inner Dukes of Seir: Kingdom Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe Genesis 36:29-30 names dukes of the Horites in the land of Seir. In Neville’s tongue, these dukes are not distant genealogies but inner states of consciousness—dominions you permit to rule your mind. Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, Dishan become habits, beliefs, and reactions that presently govern your feeling and action in Seir—the landscape of your senses. The Kingdom of God, then, is the one true sovereignty you awaken to within, the I AM awareness that witnesses these rulers and, by the power of imagination, reassigns them. You are not bound by their rivalry; you are the monarch who can revise the court, elevate certain qualities, dissolve others into unity. Human Dignity—the Imago Dei—remains intact in every facet of your inner kingdom, inviting you to treat each state with respect while guiding them under one creative will. The verse thus invites you to reverse the apparent power of the dukes by assuming the role of governor of Seir and inviting harmony, purpose, and divine order to inhabit every chamber of your mind.
