Inner Armies of Manasseh

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, the tribe of Manasseh stands for your capacity to act, to protect, and to steward your life. The census is not about ancient tribes but about your present state: attention given to your strength, alignment, and unity. When you imagine yourself as 'able to go forth to war,' you are declaring your inner resources, your discipline, your family's welfare, and your community's harmony. The names and generations are symbolic of the many facets of your I AM—your memory, your intent, your decisions, your relationships. To count 32,200 is to acknowledge a vast reservoir of energy you can deploy in service to your life and to your house (family). In Neville's terms, you must assume that your inner army exists now: you live not in a world of absence but in a world of realization through will and imagination. As you hold this awareness, you align your consciousness with the strength that holds all your commitments together—unity within, stewardship outward, creation care inside the world you inhabit. Your present moment is the register of this inner census, waiting to be lived.
