Restful Return to Inner Possession
Joshua 1:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Verse 1:15 says the people must wait for their brethren to have rest and possess their land; only then may you return to your own land and enjoy it. The land is described as your possession, the inheritance granted by the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the outer history is a mirror of your inner order. The 'rest' of your brethren is the moment when the I AM, the Lord of your awareness, settles into a state you already know, peace, certainty, completion. When that rest is given to all around you, you are free to inhabit your own land, the land Moses gave you, the land of your established consciousness. The 'land' is not geography but your state of awareness in which your desires are already accomplished. The eastward sun signifies a dawning in your mind; its rising is your acceptance that what you seek is already yours in your inner order. To comply with this verse is to realize that all movement is within you; the apparent external journey is the outworking of your inner conviction. By yielding to the inner rest of others and then returning to your possession, you acknowledge that your real world is the visible outworking of your inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume that your brethren have rest and have returned to their land. Then revise by assuming you have already possessed your inner land, and feel it as your present reality.
