Biblical Context
2 Kings 23:8 describes cleansing the land by removing the priests and defiling the high places, symbolizing a spiritual purge. It points to dissolving attachment to ritualized worship and aligning with true worship through inner discipline.
Neville's Inner Vision
Now listen in the tone of silent royalty. The verse speaks not of geography but of your state of consciousness. The priests are the habitual thoughts you call divine and the high places are the elevated beliefs you grant power to. By removing the priests from the cities of Judah and defiling those altars, you declare that such beliefs no longer govern your inner gate. The gates represent the entryways of your life, and when you break down the high places at the gate of Joshua the governor, you are dissolving the structures that once allowed fear to rule. From Geba to Beersheba means all the declared territories of your mind—from the outer reaches to the core. Joshua the governor is your I AM, the steadfast ruler who remains when you revise the script. When you align with this inner governor and defile the old shrines with the realization that they cannot define you, the old ritual moves lose their grip. The simple act you perform is an inner assumption: I am the consciousness that purifies and commands.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM consciousness rules my mind.' Visualize removing the old priests from every gate and watching the gates open to new, true worship.
