Inner Overseers Of The Mind
Nehemiah 11:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nehemiah 11:9 describes appointed overseers for the city, symbolizing the mind’s governance by different faculties to maintain order and unity.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the book of Nehemiah, the city is your mind, and the appointed overseers are states of consciousness governed by your I AM. Joel the son of Zichri stands as the vigilant governor of the outer precincts—your thoughts and perceptions—while Judah the son of Senuah is the second, the practical ruler who translates vision into action within the walls. You are invited to notice that order arises not from fate but from an inner appointment, a decision of awareness. I AM, the awareness within you, appoints them, and unity follows when you honor their offices. When you allow stray images to rule, you forget you are the ruler. Imagination creates reality; through intentional feeling and belief you sustain these offices and align perception, choice, and action. As you accept this governance, you live from a center that is calm, clear, and faithful, and your outer life begins to reflect that steadfast order.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In quiet, imagine appointing Joel as the overseer of your thoughts and Judah as second over your inner city; feel their offices framing your mind in unity. Then affirm, I AM the awareness that rules this city and feel it real.
