Neville Goddard on Joshua 16:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 16 in context

Scripture Focus

5And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;

6And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

7And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

Joshua 16:5-7

Biblical Context

The passage describes Ephraim's land borders on the east, north, and toward the Jordan.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joshua 16:5-7 is not a map of soil but a map of your inner territory. The borders describe your states of consciousness, each named point a habit of mind you choose or dismiss. When you behold Ephraim, you behold a part of your own self pledged to a covenant with the I AM. The east border Atarothaddar marks the moment you affirm a precise point of awareness; Bethhoron the upper hints at rising perception; the stretch toward the sea and the north points to the direction your thoughts travel; Janohah and Naarath signal the paths your attention follows; Jericho stands as a boundary of fear whose wall you are invited to dissolve by realizing the Jordan of life is within your choosing. Crossing from Janohah to Ataroth to Naarath is your transition from doubt to action, from thought to lived experience. Your inheritance is the fulfillment of conscious intent when you dwell in the I AM, maintaining covenant loyalty and unity with your inner family and the wider community. See the land you seek as a state of consciousness you can inhabit now, and you will live there.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that you are the boundary and guardian of your good, and when you imagine your day see yourself as the border around your desired life and dwell there for a few breaths.
