On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’
The angels and the heavenly host: the witnesses who bring word that God has already come, to be honored for what they carry.

A Saviour born to you is the Self God created and gave, come to rescue you from the other self you made: guilty, small, and afraid of what it sees. Nothing else was ever wrong with you, and nothing else needed saving. The day of it is this one. There is no past to this birth and no future to postpone it into, so the day being named is always the present one.
The sign given is a newborn purpose of forgiveness, just begun in you and easy to pass by, nursed by angels and guarded by God while it is still too young to stand. It comes helpless because it depends for its life on the holiness of the relationship that takes it in. Whoever shelters it walks a road that does not end at a cross. It ends where he ended, in resurrection.
Glory sung to God in the highest reaches you as well, because He wills that it should, and a will like that does not wait on your asking: what you would ask for has been given already. The word brought is not that God will come. He has come, and those who carry that news are to be honored for carrying it, and the One they announce is to be bidden welcome. The joy of it belongs to all people, because union is given to everyone and through everyone, and no one pays for it. Sacrifice would be attack, and attack has no part in what is born here.
Those who go out and tell what they were told become holy messengers of God in the telling, and they find, in speaking His Word, that it had been written on their own hearts long before.
The single stone set before Joshua is the pineal gland, and the 7 eyes upon it are the completed range of inner perception, since the number 7 means completion; the full set of centers opens as one sight rather than as scattered separate glances. The higher mind engraves this stone, cutting the pattern of awakened seeing into the one gland where all perception gathers.
Removing the iniquity of the land in a single day is the mind cleared in one stroke of realization: when the stone bearing the 7 eyes is engraved, the flaw in the field of consciousness lifts at once. All inner sight rests on one center, and its opening ends the disorder of the mind.
