Achor Valley Mercy Restored

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the outer event—the punishment, the stone heap, and the renaming—arise as symbols of a state of consciousness. Achan’s act embodies a belief in separation from the Whole, an inner discord that imagines itself apart from God and the good. The fierceness of anger you read is the felt consequence of that belief in division. Yet the Lord turning away is the turning of your attention back to the I AM—the constant awareness within you that never departs. When you stop clinging to the memory of fault and genuinely assume you are already in right relation with Life, the old energy ceases to rule and a new order arises. The valley of Achor thus becomes a psychological compass: once a troubled inner ground, now named The Valley of Achor, is reinterpreted as a place where mercy is received and grace is restored. This is not history but inner revision—seeing past guilt through the light of immediate awareness and allowing the feeling of I AM to reestablish you in grace.
