Inner Crossing and Memorial Stones
Joshua 4:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The people have crossed the Jordan. God instructs Joshua to appoint twelve men, one from each tribe.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville vantage, this is not a geographical fable but a map of the inner state. The Jordan is your old limitation; crossing it marks a shift of consciousness into the realm of the I AM. The LORD's command to Joshua to choose twelve men, one from every tribe, is a symbolic invitation to marshal every faculty of your mind into a single forward act. Each tribe stands for a quality of awareness—faith, courage, patience, gratitude, discernment, will, imagination, speech, action, receptivity, stillness, love. By selecting these twelve as witnesses, you create an internal council that can affirm your new reality. The memorial stones are the discipline of remembrance: a ritual to remind you that the decisive shift occurred in consciousness, not merely on the riverbank. When you honor that inner move, you acknowledge that the I AM presence has already crossed into your circumstances, and your future is sustained by your present faith and obedience.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a moment of quiet, close your eyes and imagine gathering twelve inner faculties, one from each facet of your being, placing them as memorial stones in your mind. Feel that you have already crossed Jordan and that the promised land is your present awareness, sustained by the I AM.
