The Inner Spoils of Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Know this: the city is a symbol of a lower sense, and the cattle and spoil are the riches of awareness that become yours when you hearken to the LORD within you—the I AM. The command to Joshua is the inner law; when you consent to that inner directive, you claim abundance that belongs to your higher self. The word only signals selective ownership: you do not seize all, you take what the inner decree authorizes. This is not conquest of another, but alignment with divine order in your own mind. In your present imagination you stand as Joshua before a threshold of a former self. The spoil you take is energy, insight, and fertile ideas that move in harmony with the spiritual word you have accepted. Practice is to feel the reality of the inner decree, to revise in imagination, and to let the sense of already having what you seek flood your heart. Then your outward world will reorder to reflect that inner arrangement.
