8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

Zechariah 3:8-9

Biblical Context

Zechariah 3:8-9 speaks of Joshua the high priest and the coming Branch. It also speaks of a stone engraved with seven eyes, promising the removal of iniquity in a single day.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this vision, Zechariah is not a history lesson but a map of consciousness. Joshua the high priest is the I AM you, seated in the inner sanctuary where your choices are made. The Branch is the living idea that will sprout within your awareness, your inner Messiah showing you what life can become. The stone with seven eyes stands for the all-seeing intelligence, the sevenfold attention of God that perceives every thought, motive, and action. When God says I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day, he points to an instantaneous revision of your state of being, not a gradual repair of outer circumstances. By assuming the Branch as your present reality and by feeling the truth of the engraving - the inscription of your own worth - you begin to erase limitation in a heartbeat. Forgiveness becomes your felt condition, not a theory. The Kingdom of God is realized as your awareness, the I AM that you are, shining through every moment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and place your attention at the center of your chest. Say, 'I AM the Branch now,' and visualize a stone before Joshua within you, seven eyes lighting up; feel the engraving written upon your being and forgive all in imagination until it feels real.
