The twelve tribes of Israel are not just names in an ancient lineage — they are symbolic faculties of mind, the inner Elohim or "judges and powers" named God that shape your self-perception. Each tribe, through its Hebrew meaning, represents a distinct mental or emotional quality contributing to the creative process within.
Later, these tribes find their echo in the twelve disciples of Jesus. This shift from tribes to disciples is not simply a historical or generational change — it is a psychological evolution: a movement from dispersed, unconscious potentials to consciously named and directed powers supporting the assumption. The lineage of Christ shows the names of the psychological states passed through.
This narrative traces the journey through the Law of Assumption, revealing how the inner Elohim — your many mental states — must be harmonised and consciously commanded to create your desired world. What you inwardly accept as true is precisely what your outer world reflects.

Twelve tribes. Twelve disciples. One transformed mind.
