Inner Lands of Manasseh

Neville's Inner Vision

Manasseh here is not a geographic people but a state of awareness arising in you—the firstborn of your consciousness claiming the land of your mind. The lot allotted to Manasseh declares your inner disposition to govern certain powers. Machir, the elder and father of Gilead, is described as a man of war—an active faculty within you that conquers defined inner territories through disciplined imagination. Because this energy is a warrior, it receives Gilead and Bashan—the fields you determine and govern by focus and will. The rest of Manasseh’s children—the clans Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida—represent the varieties of your life thought, habits, memories, and identities that you recognize and organize under the one crown of I AM. To dwell with integrity is to acknowledge each part as belonging to the whole, and to reorder them in your mind so unity, not fragmentation, rules. When you accept that your I AM is the owner of this inner land, you can revise the impression and reallocate these tribes toward harmony. The page invites you to see your inner landscape as a divinely mapped territory governed by your present consciousness and imaginative acts.
