The Spirit Rested On Elders

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of 'the Spirit' not as a separate power, but as a state of consciousness you awaken. The cloud that comes down is your awareness actively descending into the place where you live your daily thoughts. When God takes from the spirit upon Moses and gives it to the seventy, he is showing you that your inner capacities are not limited to one person; consciousness can be shared by the many facets of your being. Prophesying, in this sense, is the natural expression of your awakened imagination: insights, decisions, and visions that flow freely when the mind is saturated with awareness. As the Spirit rests upon them and they prophesy, you experience the freedom of contiguous, non-stop creative guidance. The lesson is not about external authority, but about recognizing that you carry within you the same source of inspiration, ready to be drawn upon at any moment. By tending your inner state—making the I AM the ruling fact—you distribute the fullness of God within your own life and others.
