Inner Covenant Restored in You

Neville's Inner Vision

I read this as a record of consciousness, not a history of politics. The breach in the tribes is the split that occurs when the I AM forgets itself as one. Israel’s tribes are the many faculties of mind scattered in fear, pride, and scarcity. The LORD—your awareness—does not punish; it exposes the illusion that there can be apart from the whole. When the people repent, it is not a plea for mercy from without, but a turning of the inner gaze toward the unity that already is. Benjamin stands as a seed within you—the newborn desire or truth you would protect—but it is bereft if you cling to separation. The problem of wives for the remnant becomes a symbol: you must align the missing aspects of consciousness so Benjamin may live. The elders’ question becomes a practical invitation to revise your inner covenant: if you imagine the whole being whole, you supply the missing companions to harmonize the self. Mercy flows when you acknowledge that you are not other, but the I AM perceiving.
