Inner Land Survey of Consciousness

Joshua 18:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 18 in context

Scripture Focus

4Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
5And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
Joshua 18:4-6

Biblical Context

Three men from each tribe are to survey the land, divide it into seven parts, and return with a description for casting lots before the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the command speaks not of earth but of your inner jurisdiction. The land to be described is the terrain of your own mind, and the three men you send forth stand for three acts of awareness you choose to affirm: belief, desire, and attention. As you describe the land, you are actually naming and arranging the movements of consciousness already within you. The seven parts into which you divide the land correspond to seven faculties—memory, imagination, will, feeling, perception, intuition, and faith—each a region you can own and reorder by inner decision. Describing the land is a act of creation in imagination; when you bring the description to the LORD, you are offering your mental map to the I AM, the awareness that you are and always are. Casting lots becomes a practice of alignment: you decide, in stillness, which path of action is in accord with your true being. This is obedience, faithfulness, and discernment wrapped into a single moment of willing acceptance. The verse then becomes your invitation to govern your inner inheritance with serene clarity.

Practice This Now

Practice: In stillness, survey a current issue as seven parts of consciousness; describe the land, choose a favorable lot aligned with the I AM, and feel it real.
