Burning Ai Within: Inner Cleansing Fire

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Ai not as a city, but as a stubborn inner habit—fear, doubt, or the old story of limitation. Joshua's act of burning Ai is not merely historical; it is the inward act you must perform in imagination. Identify the belief that anchors the limitation, and, with the warmth of your I AM, set it alight until it collapses to a heap and remains desolate. When you feel that erection of flame, you are declaring that this aspect of your identity will no longer govern your life. The phrase 'and made it an heap for ever' becomes your promise that the end you desire is already present in awareness and will endure in experience. The I AM witnesses this ruin and records a new image of yourself—free, guided, and victorious. Providence operates as your inner compass; as you persist, the outer world reorders itself to reflect the new inner weather. The destruction of the old self makes room for the true self to dwell, and life answers from within.
