Asher's Hidden Lineage
Genesis 46:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 46 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 46:17 lists Asher's sons and Beriah's sons, noting Serah as sister. It reads as a straightforward genealogical record.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 46:17 is not merely a roll call of flesh and blood; it is an inner roll call of states of consciousness. Each name points to a facet of your being that you have given attention to, and within you, these facets multiply when you attend to them with awareness. Asher’s line represents the stream of life that flows through your inner house; Jimnah, Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and Serah are the distinct dispositions you entertain, some named for masculine leadership, some for feminine receptivity. Beriah’s sons, Heber and Malchiel, mark branches within branches—subsets of your imagination and memory becoming tangible forms. The sister Serah reminds you that imagination and intuition are not separate from life’s order but integral to it. In the Neville sense, your world is your I AM: as you attend to these inner states, you maintain and reproduce them as your external family of conditions. Thus the descendants are divisions of consciousness that you can revise at will through assent, feeling and inner declaration. Your present environment mirrors the inner settlement you have chosen.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit with I AM; silently name each inner state as if it were a living part of you, and then revise, 'I AM the source of these sons; I birth unity and dignity in my inner house.' Then feel what that feels like for a few minutes.
