Inner Cities of Ephraim

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the land of your mind, there are not separate kingdoms but nested states. The 'cities' of Ephraim appearing among the inheritance of Manasseh reveal that your finer faculties—courage, intuition, craft, devotion—are not isolated islands but embedded within the whole field of consciousness. The inheritance stands for your entire being, your I AM awareness; to keep covenant loyalty is to acknowledge that all parts exist under the same sovereign awareness. The villages of these cities symbolize daily habits, memories, and supporting beliefs that accompany your inner decisions. By reading these cities as a single, ordered polity, you invite unity rather than fragmentation. The practice is to assume that the divided parts of you are placed within one larger estate by the I AM, and that their separate identities serve the whole. When you revise limitation and feel the reality that you own and govern this inner land, you shift from lack to fullness, from fear to faith, and from inner conflict to harmony. Imagination, properly exercised, does not segregate but arranges; it makes the inner census a cooperative commonwealth under God the I AM.
