Inner Recompense of the Heart
Ezekiel 11:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says that those who follow detestable things will have their ways recompensed on their own heads. It points to an inner cause-and-effect that begins in the heart.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Ezekiel’s line, the Lord says the heart that walks after detestable things will have its way repaid upon its own head. But in the theater of consciousness, that 'recompense' is not a punitive judge outside you; it is the natural echo of your inner states. Your awareness is the I AM, and the detestable path is a belief you have entertained in the mind, a habitual thought that extends itself into feeling and then into form. When you realize that God is the I AM that perceives, you can stop blaming the world and turn within. The moment you assume a new state—one of integrity, wholeness, and disciplined affection—the old pattern loses its traction. The so-called recompense appears not as an external blow, but as a revised scene in your inner cinema: you feel the relief that comes with alignment, and the outer circumstances rearrange to fit that inner state. Your heart's "detestable things" are simply beliefs you can renounce by assuming a more true version of yourself, the version that loves truth and acts from the I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume you are the I AM, already aligned beyond the old pattern. Revise a recent moment by feeling the new state—peace, integrity, and aligned action—as if the outer scene is already changed.
