Blessings of Ephraim and Manasseh

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, the blessing is not a historical event so much as a state of consciousness being named. You are the Israel spoken of, and your own I AM blesses two faculties: Ephraim, the outward fruit of your dreams and forward movement, and Manasseh, the secure memory of form and covenant loyalty. Placing Ephraim before Manasseh is an inner ordering: the future and the new blessing are set as paramount, and the old limiting story is set in its proper place as subordinate. When you acknowledge that you are already blessed—in the sense that your I AM is the source of supply—Israel’s blessing becomes yours. The double aspect is a call to wholeness: grace and favor come not from without, but from the alignment of your two inner currents. Speak as if your life bears this blessing, and feel the sense of being made like Ephraim and Manasseh, a complete state in which potential becomes realized form. Your imagination is the mother of this reality; the moment you assume it, the world rearranges to match it.
