Inner Command of the Camp

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the march of the camp is a symbol in your own mind. The names of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali are not external tribes but facets of your consciousness, each entrusted with a charge to move the inner army forward. When you set forward a standard in imagination, you enlist a governing idea that becomes the rereward of all that follows; the rest of your mental camps align beneath that one leading assumption. This is the Kingdom of God within: a state of awareness that orders your days, your work, and your relationships as though they were already accomplished. The leaders over the camps correspond to the principles that you permit to rule your acting—your sense of protection, your resourcefulness, and your momentum. By choosing which standard leads you in thoughts and feelings, you are choosing which aspect of yourself governs. To move northward—toward greater clarity, unity, and vocation—you simply insist that the desired state is already present. The current experience follows the inner leadership you have accepted. Remember: imagination creates reality, and your inner camp marches to the beat of your sustained, all-encompassing I AM.
