Inner Conquest and Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the story as a map of your own mind. The cities and kings are states of consciousness; Joshua is your higher self obeying the I AM and the divine order within you. The edge of the sword represents clear, decisive belief that acts in alignment with law, not cruelty but truth enacted. The burning of Hazor reveals that inner purification is selective: some patterns must be burned away to free the whole, while other strongholds may remain until their function is fulfilled, all under the covenant of your inner Lord. Judgment is the natural consequence of awakening to what you truly are, and justice arises as you faithfully follow the command that confirms your oneness. When you live as this inner Joshua, you are not destroying others but releasing misbeliefs that bind you; you experience righteous power as mercy in action, transforming your scene to reflect your true state of I AM awareness.
