Inner Bethlehem Endings and Beginnings

Neville's Inner Vision

Ibzan’s death and burial in Bethlehem unfolds not as a distant chronicle but as a symbol of an inner state of consciousness that has completed its turn. In Neville’s psychology, every outer event mirrors an unseen movement of imagination. The death is the cessation of a particular leadership stance, Bethlehem is the place of nourishment, the I AM that preserves and returns what has lived. When a phase ends, the I AM remains, and the memory of the journey is buried within the home of awareness where new images are fed. This is how community and unity are sustained: through the awareness that every life is a chapter returning to inner bread, a shared source. Providence and Guidance are not distant interventions but the waking of the I AM to revise itself, to honour dignity, Imago Dei, by letting end be end and end become seed. Thus, even a death teaches you to re-feel the self as the source of all remembrance and all future seeing.
