Joshua 6 read psychologically: Joshua, barred by impassable walls from Jericho (the fragrant, desired state), blows the trumpet seven times; seven is stillness, rest, the Sabbath, being unmoved in the conviction that the thing is. At that point the walls (obstacles, reason, the senses) crumble of their own weight and he enters.

He finds himself barred by the impassable walls of Jericho
he blew upon the trumpet seven times and at the seventh blast the walls crumbled
The walls, the obstacles, the problems, crumble of their own weight if I can reach the point of stillness within me
