Inner City Counsel Reimagined

Ezekiel 11:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 11 in context

Scripture Focus

2Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
3Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
Ezekiel 11:2-3

Biblical Context

Verse Ezekiel 11:2-3 identifies men who devise mischief and give wicked counsel, claiming danger is not near and that the city is the caldron in which we are the flesh.

Neville's Inner Vision

The 'men' Ezekiel names are not outsiders but states of your own mind—habits of fear, pride, and control masquerading as counsel. The city stands for your inner atmosphere, the caldron the heated atmosphere produced by unresolved emotion, and 'we the flesh' is identification with the mortal self. When they say it is not near, they reveal a persistent belief that trouble is distant, that you can postpone transformation while you build defenses. Yet the remedy is to awaken to your true state: you are the I AM, the awareness that imagines and thus creates. Do not chase people or events in the world; revise from within and let your new assumed state radiate outward. Instead of scheming about near danger, imagine the end you desire as already real and feel it as present. In that felt sense, the so-called mischief loses its grip, the caldron cools, and the body forgets its claim to be the flesh. Your life rearranges itself to reflect the inner conclusion you now accept as true.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit still and revise a current concern by declaring, 'I am the I AM of this mind; this city is my temple, and mischief dissolves in the light of awareness.' Then feel the truth of that statement for a minute and observe how your sense of time and distance shifts.
