Neville Goddard on Joshua 7:24-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 7 in context

Scripture Focus

24And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.

25And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

Joshua 7:24-25

Biblical Context

Achan's hidden sin is exposed, and the community gathers his possessions to the valley of Achor. The text shows how private consciousness shapes collective consequence.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this story, Achan shows a dissonant state lodged in the subconscious—an impulse to cling to silver and gold while professing faith in the Covenant. The valley of Achor is the inward field where such hidden movements are made visible to the light of awareness. The stones and fire are symbols for the purifying act of consciousness that reveals and dissolves what does not belong to the true I AM. When Joshua asks, 'Why hast thou troubled us?' the question echoes your own: why tolerate a thought that separates you from your one Reality? The outward judgment in the text is the mirror of your inner cause; what is buried in the heart must come to light and be released. To enter the inner land of abundance, revise the belief that you are flawed or divided. Rest in the I AM, feel its unity, and let attachments dissolve as you align with the truth that you are whole, righteous, and free.

Practice This Now

Assume a new state now: I am one with the I AM, and there is no hidden motive within me. Revise any sense of separation by repeating, feeling, and embodying, 'I am whole, I am pure, I am aligned with the I AM' until it feels real.
