Inner Covenant, Outer Consequences

Neville's Inner Vision

Reading Joshua 23:15-16 as Neville would, the land is your inner state and the covenant is your alignment with the I AM. When you 'transgress'—i.e., fall into fear, lack, or separation—the 'anger of the LORD' becomes the inner tumult signaling you have left the truth of being. The 'good land' is your natural, harmonious awareness; the 'evil things' are disturbances that arise when you identify with a false self rather than with the I AM. The divine decree is not punishment upon external people but the natural law of consciousness: whatever you persist in imagining about yourself and God becomes your experience. The remedy is practical: revise your state, assume the feeling of being already in the promised land, and dwell there until it is your habitual awareness. As you persist, what was exile—fragmented belief—melts back into unity, and the blessing returns because you have chosen to be the living covenant in consciousness.
