Crossing Inner Borders

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a map of your inner state. Edom and Moab are the stubborn states of self that refuse to permit the mind to pass through certain beliefs. Israel's petition and the kings' refusals reveal a moment when your outer circumstances echo your inner borders. The journey becomes not a march through geography, but a movement of consciousness: you are compelled to travel a wider wilderness, allowed to skirt the borders you once believed were impenetrable. In the mind that knows the I AM, Arnon marks the edge where fear becomes personal history; yet the wilderness is not defeat but a school of endurance. By abiding at Kadesh, you hold a center of awareness, not out of pride but out of divine presence. The true crossing happens when you stop begging permission from Edom and Moab and instead affirm the inner passage already granted by your I AM. Providence guides you along a path that respects boundaries while deepening trust that God is within your own consciousness, moving you around the barriers toward your unseen Promised Land.
