Crossed Hands of Blessing

Neville's Inner Vision

View Jacob as the inner self, the I AM within you, who crosses his hands to reorder the usual flow of blessing. The right hand is the assertive assumption—your active consent to the image you desire as already true. Ephraim, the younger, embodies new possibilities awaiting acknowledgment; Manasseh, the elder, represents established self-structure supporting this birth. Guiding his hands wittingly signals inner wisdom directing your imagination toward realization. When Jacob invokes the God before whom his fathers walked, he anchors the present I AM in sacred lineage; the Angel who redeemed me from all evil becomes your inner guide, removing inner obstacles. Bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers—this is your thought-forms taking on a divine identity. Let them grow into a multitude in the earth means your blessed possibilities proliferate into outward form. This is inner alignment, not magic—you choose, bless, and stand in the truth of what you behold.
