Rod of Israel's Inheritance

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse, Jacob represents your inner inheritance—the seed within the I AM. The Lord who forms all things is not external; he is the activity of your awareness. Israel is the rod of his inheritance, the disciplined instrument by which your imagination writes form into experience. The rod is not control through force, but alignment of consciousness and decree. Your life becomes the workshop where the I AM shapes events through definite assumption. Do not seek truth outside yourself; your life is the result of the state you dwell in. When you assume the wish is fulfilled, you place the rod to write new form on the world. The name 'the LORD of hosts' is your awareness's authority—the inner commander who calls forth the hosts of experiences and probabilities. Remain loyal to the covenant within: your divine inheritance is yours to create, and the former of all things works through you as the I AM.
