Inner Refuge Of Joshua

Neville's Inner Vision

See the Kohathite families as the inner guard placed within my consciousness, the Levites who remain anchored in awareness. Ephraim signifies the field where I stand in certainty, a mount of inner foothold. Shechem, Gezer, Kibzaim, and Bethhoron become stations of thought and feeling where a harmful impulse can be led to safety rather than punished by guilt. A city of refuge is a state of mind in which the 'slayer'—the memory of fault, fear, or judgment—finds sanctuary from the storm of self-condemnation. The list of Dan’s cities indicates that this protection is distributed through the structure of my life, not isolated; every daily corner is a potential sanctuary. Mercy and covenant loyalty are not external acts but the fidelity of my I AM to preserve, forgive, and restore. When I dwell in these inner cities, the mind is just, merciful, and united with its own truth; the community within me aligns, and I experience safety, justice, and peace as now.
