Reading the Inner Law

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Joshua passage, the act of reading the law becomes a symbolic foray into your own mind. The blessings and curses are not distant texts but states of consciousness you entertain. When you hear 'the words of the law' spoken in your awareness, you are listening to the commands you have assumed in inner practice. The law is the order of your inner world; obedience means remaining faithful to the state you have declared as true. To Joshua the reading marks covenant loyalty: a steadfast alignment of your feeling, attention, and imagination with what you desire. Your inner Israel is the I AM, the awareness that notices blessings as felt realities and curses as stories you have outgrown by revision. The moment you read aloud in imagination what you intend, you authorize the creation of conditions that reflect that inner law. So, the outward world becomes a mirror of your inner commitment, and the blessings follow from your faithful listening to the law within.
