The Inner City of Genesis

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, the city is your inner state of organization and purpose, not merely bricks and streets. Cain’s act of building becomes a symbol of how a fixed state of consciousness gives birth to a world outwardly. The names that follow—Enoch, Irad, Mehujael, Methusael, Lamech—are the successive inner stages you traverse as you awaken to your own powers. Jabal speaks of provision through tent-dwelling and cattle; Jubal of harmony through music; Tubal-Cain of craft and power through brass and iron. Each craft represents a facet of your self-concept—how you feed, create, and express. The sister Naamah completes the circle of receptivity. Read symbolically, this genealogy invites you to observe that any external arrangement you call life is the outward sign of an inner image. To shift your world, you first revise the inner image, then feel it as real, and let the outer form follow the renewed inner state. Your I AM is the builder; imagination is the blueprint; feeling is the real construction.
