Numbers 23:10

Biblical Context

Plainly, the verse speaks of an immense, uncountable lineage of Jacob and Israel. The speaker longs to die the death of the righteous and to have an end like theirs.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse asks who can count the dust of Jacob and the number of the fourth part of Israel. The dust is my own thoughts, the particles of consciousness that fashion the seen world. I am the I AM of Israel; the countless numbers are the states of awareness I permit to rise within me. When I claim, Let me die the death of the righteous, I am not seeking a physical death but a radical inner shift—an end to old, fear-bound endings and a beginning to the steadfast life of integrity. The righteous end is simply the felt end-state of holiness becoming my normal condition. Since I am made in the image of God, every outcome flows from this single consciousness. My present assumption that I am now the righteous, here and now, redefines my life as a continuous journey toward that end. Holiness and separation are inner discipline—clarity of desire, purity of thought, unwavering faith. The future then unfolds as the natural expression of this end-state, a harvest born from the seed I sow in imagination.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, assume the end-state, and feel it real for five minutes: 'I AM the righteous end.' Let the scene unfold in inner imagery until it rests in your chest.
