4Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

Numbers 32:2-4

Biblical Context

Numbers 32:2-4 records Gad and Reuben asking Moses for land east of the Jordan, describing it as a land for cattle because they have cattle.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the scene before Moses is not a mere land deal but a revelation of consciousness. The land east of the Jordan is a symbol for a mind settled in abundance; the cattle are the felt life of wealth. Gad and Reuben’s petition marks a choice of inner disposition: to dwell in a state where provision is already given by the Lord, i.e., by your own I AM. The ‘land smote before the congregation’ becomes a metaphor for clearing doubt and accepting a reality formed by inner truth. Their tie to cattle shows attachment to tangible wealth, yet Neville teaches that the form first appears as a state of awareness. When you align your imagination with the feeling that you already possess the abundance, the outer conditions follow as expression of that inner state. The critical practice is to revise your view until your assumption feels true, and to entertain the feeling of ownership until it becomes your usual sensation of being. Then your inner geography matches the land you're asking for.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of abundance now; quietly imagine yourself standing on that land with cattle, and feel the I AM as your constant security. Let that felt reality linger until your ordinary sense of lack dissolves.
