The passage describes Manasseh's border and notes that Tappuah lies on the border but belongs to Ephraim.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville’s ear, this text is not a map of dirt but a map of consciousness. Manasseh is a state of being you inhabit; the border from Asher to Michmethah and the line toward Entappuah marks the inner fluid motion of your thoughts as they shift toward alignment with the I AM. The statement that Tappuah sits on the border of Manasseh but belongs to Ephraim speaks in inner code: a portion of your awareness already recognizes a neighboring faculty’s domain and has not yet claimed it. Ephraim represents a related impulse within you—perhaps a covenant loyalty to the whole, inviting unity rather than division. Providence and guidance show you that borders are not walls but dynamic agreements you draw with imagination. When you assume the interior landscape, you may revise which states hold domain and how they relate, until your entire consciousness is a single sovereignty: the Kingdom of God within. By attending to these inner borders with calm acceptance, you awaken to the truth that the 'land' you claim is merely the focus of your I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in quiet, envision Manasseh’s border expanding to include Ephraim; revise the map by affirming, 'All states of consciousness are mine now.' Feel the unity in your chest.
