Inner Borders of Joseph

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse is not a map of terrain but a map of consciousness. The lot of Joseph, set east of the Jordan, shows how your inner boundaries trace the edge between old stories and new light. Jericho’s water on the east represents the currents of feeling you permit before you fully enter the inner wilderness that rises toward Bethel, the house of God, and Luz, the place of awakening. The path from Bethel to Luz and onward to Archi and Ataroth is a sequence of states you inhabit as a person who loves and stewards a covenant life. To claim this land is to acknowledge that the land is not outside you but a projection of your allegiance: loyalty to your inner covenant, care for your family, and responsibility for your creation-care. By holding Joseph’s twofold nature—the intentions and the actions—you cultivate a life where boundaries protect what is sacred and allow growth to flow from inner Bethel to outer Ataroth. When you accept this boundary as your present state, you invite the divine I AM to dwell in every room of your life.
