Jordan Crossing of Presence
Joshua 4:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The priests bearing the ark stood in the Jordan until all that the LORD commanded was spoken and carried out. Then the people, being clean, passed over, and the ark passed over in the presence of all.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville’s reading, Jordan becomes the restless mind; the priests are your higher self, the I AM holding the ark—the realization of your divine nature. While the ark remains in the middle of the waters, you stand in assurance until every command is spoken as a finished inner state. When the people are made clean—beliefs purified and doubts released—the path opens and the ark passes over, symbolizing your awareness carrying the completed state into outer experience. Obedience here is inner assent, not external rule; covenant loyalty is your steady alignment with the I AM regardless of appearance. The scene teaches that reality follows your inner decision, not the other way around. Practice now: assume you are already on the far shore; speak the command as if true; feel the presence of the ark surrounding you, and let the inner completion shape your world.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, declare, 'I am across the Jordan now; the command is fulfilled,' and breathe into the feeling of completion until it sits as the I AM within.
