The Inner Stone Witness

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that Joshua’s act is not mere record-keeping but a psychological enactment. In Neville’s language, the 'book of the law' is the inner script you hold in your own consciousness, and the stone set by the sanctuary is a fixed symbol in your mind that witnesses every spoken word to God. The people gathered are the voices and habits within you agreeing to live by a law of alignment with your true self—the I AM. The stone speaks against any denial of God by reminding you of what you have heard and chose to accept. The oak and the sanctuary designate your stillness, the inner throne where consciousness watches over its own decisions. The presence of God is the awareness that you are that which witnesses, and obedience is the daily fidelity to that awareness. Thus the scene becomes a practical technique: write your personal covenant in the 'book' of your mind and place a fixed witness in your inner sanctuary to keep your word intact, day after day.
