Inner Edom Defeated Joktheel

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Edom stands for the fear and limitation within you—an externalized nation that you believe stands against your royal consciousness. The valley of salt is your working ground of purification, the arena where you feel the sting of old habits and memories. The king who defeats Edom is the I AM within you, the awakening faculty that moves with decisive consciousness. To 'slew ten thousand' is to dissolve many of these fearful thoughts by the realization that you are the one power, not them. 'Taking Selah by war' represents seizing a pause, a moment of contemplation, and turning it into an active affirmation of dominion. 'Joktheel'—the place named as the hill of God—signifies the inner geography where God reigns in your awareness. By renaming the conquered land Joktheel, you declare that your inner state is now governed by divine will, not by worldly appearances. This is the shift Neville instructs: you do not change external events but your inner state of consciousness, and the outer world re-aligns accordingly. This is the inner warfare that yields tangible results: your inner map becomes a throne room.
