Borders Of The Inner Covenant
Joshua 16:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse traces a border from Michmethah to Taanathshiloh to Janohah. In inner terms, it marks the boundary of your present awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Cast the verses as a map of inner territory. The border going out toward the sea to Michmethah, then eastward to Taanathshiloh and Janohah, becomes a symbol of your present state of consciousness. In Neville's psychology, land and border are inner dispositions: the sea represents limitless awareness; Michmethah on the north reflects a portion of your mind that clings to familiar landmarks. The eastward path toward Taanathshiloh and Janohah signals your I AM awareness moving along the edge of belief into a new covenant of loyalty to God within. The border is not a seam in a map but a movement of attention; wherever your attention rests, that is your territory. When you assume you are in the Presence—the Kingdom of God within—you rewrite the map. Prophecy and Promise emerge as you entertain the feeling of already possessing what you seek. Your task is to revise the inner border with a felt sense of completion, and let imagination realign the landscape to reflect your divine state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, picture the border as a luminous circle around your mind. Say, 'I AM within the Presence of God now,' and feel the surrounding peace. Let that feeling linger as you proceed with a simple, ordinary action.
