Counting the Inner Tribe
Numbers 1:40-41 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Numbers 1:40-41 records the tribe of Asher being numbered, with forty-one thousand five hundred men able to go to war. It shows an organized community, counted by generations and households, ready for duty.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the census in Numbers 1:40-41 is not a ledger of nations but a record of your I AM there in the present. Asher embodies strength rightly applied to work, vocation, and family; the line 'twenty years old and upward, able to go forth to war' speaks to your current readiness, not to ancient battalions. When you imagine you are capable of action, you align your inner disposition with a world that answers to your calls. The number forty-one thousand five hundred is a symbol of the organized powers within you—the inner army that can meet every demand. So you revise: you already possess the vitality to act, sustain, and unite your community within and without. Dwelling in this assumption, the outer world begins to reflect that inner state—more unity in family, work, and neighbors—because you are viewing life through the scale of your own consciousness. Your strength is not outside; it is the measure you accept as real here and now.
Practice This Now
Assume for a moment: 'I am the strength of Asher within me now.' Feel your readiness, your unity, and let the sensation of being capable fill your chest.
