Judges 10:3-5

Biblical Context

Jair, a Gileadite, judged Israel for twenty-two years. He had thirty sons who rode on thirty ass colts and founded thirty Havothjair cities in the land of Gilead; Jair died and was buried in Camon.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's psychology, Judges 10:3-5 is a map of inner governance: Jair is the inner governor, the I AM that rules a state of consciousness. The twenty-two years symbolize a stable order established by a defined inner state. The thirty sons, riding on thirty ass-colts, are thirty facets of your being—energies you bring into life with momentum and ease. The thirty Havothjair cities are the dispositions you have made within the land of your mind—centers of activity that you govern. The land of Gilead is the higher territory of awareness where authority resides; Havothjair marks your fortified inner districts. Jair's death and burial in Camon signifies relinquishing the old self and its divisions, making space for a new governor—the I AM within you—to govern with unity. This is not a history lesson but a psychology of life: what you envision as yourself becomes your outward world as you assume a state capable of ruling all parts.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the role of the inner governor, Jair. Visualize thirty facets of your mind living in thirty Havothjair-like cities within the land of your awareness, and feel the burden of disorder melt into order.
