Valley Of Inner Reckoning
Joshua 7:25-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Israel exposes Achan's hidden sin; he is then stoned and burned. A great heap of stones is raised over him, and the LORD turns away from his fierce anger.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the inward view, the scene is a drama of your own consciousness. Achan stands for a withheld seed, a belief that you can secretly keep something from the Source and still claim unity. The stones are fixed thoughts you refuse to release; the stoning and burning are the inner purge by which you cleanse the field of those stubborn notions. The great heap marks the memory you keep as proof of a former posture, a reminder that you once believed you could segregate parts of yourself from the I AM. When the heap is raised and the LORD turns from the fierceness of his anger, this is your moment of inner revision: a recognition that the trouble arose from a mistaken assumption and that your true state is wholeness. The Valley of Achor becomes not a punishment but a map of your inner terrain—the troublesome valley you traverse as you relinquish separation and name it anew. You reset the inner weather by choosing the I AM as your final, unchanging ruler, and allow the mind to re-create your life from that steady awareness.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as your unchanging self and revise the belief of separation until it feels real. Then feel the new sense of oneness replacing the old fear.
