Inner Stones of Crossing

Joshua 4:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 4 in context

Scripture Focus

21And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
22Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
Joshua 4:21-22

Biblical Context

The passage shows a commanded memorial: stones marking Israel's crossing of the Jordan on dry ground, to be explained to future generations. It centers on teaching the meaning of God's act and the covenant memory carried forward.

Neville's Inner Vision

These stones are not rocks but states of mind. When the people ask, "What mean these stones?" you answer from the I AM that dwells within, not from history but from consciousness. The crossing of the Jordan on dry ground signifies a shift in inner decision—the moment your old circumstances yield to a newer, fixed idea. The dry ground is not a physical place, but the certainty that the end you desire has already been accomplished in your own consciousness. The memorial stones become fixed ideas, recalling that you have already passed over the Jordan in imagination, and therefore you are standing on the promised land now. The instruction to tell your children becomes a practice of narrating a present experience to reinforce it: speaking from the I AM to your own inner children, your newer states of awareness. By honoring this memory, you cement a new pattern in your mind, and the outer world follows. So let every stone be a word of faith you repeatedly utter, and let your present awareness do the crossing again and again—until it is your living fact.

Practice This Now

Assume the end: you are already on dry ground, feel it in your body. Speak to your inner self as if teaching a child, 'Israel crossed on dry land,' until that memory anchors your present state.
