Crossing The Inner Jordan

Neville's Inner Vision

As I read Joshua 1:10-11, I hear the inner Joshua commanding the officers within me. The officers are the states of consciousness I summon to move. 'Pass through the host' is my invitation to address every aspect of my being; 'prepare you victuals' becomes a practical nourishment for my mind—clarity, faith, and the image of the fulfilled desire. The three days are a symbolic pause in which I revise any last doubt, then step across the Jordan—my boundary between present limitation and the promised land of awareness. The land is not out there somewhere; it is the gift of God as my own I AM, the living awareness that faithfully answers 'you shall possess it' as I persist in the inner impression. Crossing the Jordan is not a future event but a present realization I repeatedly assume. I commit to obedience to the inner covenant: I align my thoughts, feelings, and actions with the realization that I already own the land by divine gift, and the outer world conforms to that inner state.
