Inner Spoil, Outer Desolation

Neville's Inner Vision

To Joshua's story is but a mirror of the inner man. The 'land' is the field of consciousness; the 'spoil' and 'cattle' are beliefs and capacities rightly claimed by the I AM when aligned with the LORD's word within. The command to Joshua is the inner law of assumption, a directive that what is given becomes you. When Ai is burned, it is not vengeance but the clearing of a previous state of consciousness—old stories, identifications, doubts—rendered useless by the fire of awareness. The heap forever is the crystallization of a new state; it will stand as memory that your inner state has been colonized by a higher order of reality. The people do not triumph by arms but by the obedience of consciousness to its own nature. Therefore, the interpretation: obedience is faith in the imagined state; you must see the internal scene and treat it as finished in your awareness.
