Neville's Inner Vision

I read these verses as a map of the inner camp. The west side, where Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin stand in order, is your mind's setting sun - a posture of completed purpose. Ephraim's captain Elishama and his host represent the active faculty that projects image into form; Manasseh under Gamaliel guards memory, discernment, and alignment with truth; Benjamin led by Abidan silence and ready obedience that carries every impulse into unity. The numbers are not mere counts but the relative weight you give to each aspect of consciousness. When you acknowledge that your inner world must be organized - leaders, followers, and the proportion of each state - you invite the I AM to govern your thoughts. Obedience to this inner order quiets contention and reveals a single horizon: unity of intention and action. By setting these states with care and respect, you become the standard of your own camp, and the outward world follows a coherent pattern.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and envision the west camp aligned within you, with Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin in their due places. Feel the I AM directing their movements and silently affirm, I am unified, I am governed by the I AM.
