Inner Vision of the Four Beings

Ezekiel 1:8-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 1 in context

Scripture Focus

8And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
9Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
10As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
11Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
Ezekiel 1:8-12

Biblical Context

The vision shows four beings with human hands under their wings, each bearing the faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle, moving straight ahead under the Spirit.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine Ezekiel’s vision as a map of your own inner landscape. Those four faces are not distant creatures but facets of your consciousness—the mind of a man (reason and discernment), the courage of a lion, the steady labor of an ox, and the piercing sight of an eagle. Their wings and the hands of a man beneath them signify that your creative power rests in the I AM, the constant awareness that animates all you are and do. When their wings touch and turn not, and when they move only in the direction the Spirit indicates, you are being told that true worship is alignment: your inner faculties working in unison under divine direction. The repeated 'straight forward' is the discipline of attention, refusing to bow to rumor or fear. By the Spirit’s movement you are invited to inhabit a state of holy unity, where separation dissolves and the inner kingdom manifests as your felt reality. You are the vision becoming visible through the thoughtful, faithful use of imagination.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes and assume the presence of I AM guiding your inner beings; imagine yourself as the four faces moving in unified purpose, with your hands of mind under wings. Feel it real now by affirming, 'I AM within me and I move as Spirit directs.'
