Inner Kinship Builders

Neville's Inner Vision

View the Nehemiah passage as a lesson in your inner economy. Rehum, Hashabiah, and Bavai are not distant builders; they are states of consciousness that must do their appointed work within your mind. When each part repairs its stretch of wall, the whole structure confirms that unity begins in awareness. True worship, in this sense, is not pious talk but cooperative action: thoughts yoked to deeds, aligned so the mind becomes a steadfast city. The verse says, after him repaired their brethren—your inner faculties continue the work, each part contributing its portion in harmony. If you imagine them as workers in your psyche, you will feel how your life tightens around a single center: I AM, awareness itself, guiding every repair. Begin by assuming that your day is already ordered by intention and that each fragment of yourself accepts its task. As you revise a limitation, see the Levites, your service-minded impulses, taking their place; as you bolster a dream, the Hashabiah part leads; as you stabilize a relationship, Bavai’s portion holds. Feel it real: your inner city rebuilt through cooperative states of consciousness.
