Blessings Of Shem And Japheth

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse, you hear the steady voice of your inner God addressing your own states of consciousness. Shem stands for the higher awareness—the LORD God of Shem—your inner sanctuary where I AM resides. Japheth is the expanding mind, the broader life that grows when it abides in the tents of Shem, meaning when its thought-life is housed within the shelter of the higher self. Canaan represents the lower appetites and external conditions that would seek to rule you if left unchecked. The blessing declares that the higher self enlarges, the wider life comes to dwell within the safe harbor of the inner God, and the baser tendencies are relegated to servitude under the divine order. When you hold this vision, you align your present experience with the inner pattern. Your world begins to reflect the increasing sovereignty of the I AM; creation yields to the ruler you surrender to within.
