Hebron Rest for Inner Peace

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Joshua, Hebron is not a place on a map alone; it is a state of consciousness where the I AM resides. The former name Kirjath-arba points to a mental city built by the identification with Arba, 'a great man among the Anakims'—a formidable image of self by which you have counted yourself. Yet when you rest in Hebron, the land experiences rest from war. Not because battles disappear from history, but because your awareness has ceased to entertain them as real; you have chosen one stable presence—the I AM—to rule your inner territory. The rest of the land is your own inner peace, a quiet settlement in God. In this moment, you claim the Imago Dei: you are dignity, not danger; you are the living idea of God's likeness. Your imagination can revise the narrative: make the current self-image yield to the enduring truth of your consciousness, and watch the inner battles end as you dwell in Hebron.
