Inner Covenant of Joshua

Neville's Inner Vision

This passage invites you to see Joshua as a symbol of a victorious state of consciousness—the governing will that leads and protects. When Joshua is buried at the edge of his inheritance, you are taught that a completed phase of awareness can be laid to rest, making room for a new chapter within the I AM. The border of the inheritance marks the boundary where old identifications yield to a renewed trust in your inner domain. The elders who lived after Joshua represent the accumulation of divine works remembered by consciousness; their fidelity to the LORD mirrors the ongoing relationship between your awareness and its manifested acts. As long as those remembered works remain active within you, the inner people continue to serve the LORD—the I AM—in daily life. Thus the verse points to an inner economy: release the past leader, confirm the next king of your mind, and persist in obedience to the divine within, so that God’s works continue to unfold through you.
