Sending the young one down so that all may live is a movement inside the head, the tribe of light asking the higher ruling consciousness to release the child within. Judah is the right hemisphere, the tribe of light, and Israel the father is the higher mind that rules in the head, spirit and mind as one. The lad is Benjamin, the son of the right hand, the right-brain child, and God wants nothing from a person but this inner child, not their religion and not their teachings, only the small living self within.
The little ones are the many small thoughts that stand or fall with the greater self. Once the child within is brought forth and joined, the whole company of the mind lives instead of dying, because the light in the head has been allowed to move.
Judah: the right hemisphere of the brain, the tribe of light Israel: the higher ruling consciousness in the head, spirit and mind united and prevailing with God Benjamin, the lad: the son of the right hand, the right-brain child, the inner child God alone desires Little ones: the many small thoughts that live or die with the greater self

Live Genesis 43:8 today
- Instead of reading or listening to something improving today, spend ten minutes just being awake and curious the way you were at eight years old. That counts.
- Let someone see you enjoy something without irony: the song, the food, the dumb show you actually love. Say so out loud at dinner.
- When you are stuck on a problem at work, stop reasoning and ask the simple question a child would ask. It is usually the one nobody in the room has said.
What alive part of me have I been hiding behind everything I know?
The same truth in other traditions
Tao Te Ching 55
The newborn has no armor and no agenda, and that is its whole strength. What is soft and alive in you is what actually carries you.
Zen
Not your learning, not your years of sitting. Only this moment and the plain alive thing in you looking out.
Sufism · Rumi
What is wanted from you is not your explanations or your good record. It is the small living self you keep hidden behind them.
