Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 13:20-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 13 in context

Scripture Focus

20Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

21Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 13:20-21

Biblical Context

The passage shows God opposing the devices that trap souls and promising their release; it signals liberation so the people will know the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the pillows and kerchiefs not as fabrics but as states of mind—soft justifications, comforting fictions, coverings that keep you from facing truth. Ezekiel tells of the Lord who tears these props from your arms so the hunted souls—the inner movements of consciousness—can fly no more. In Neville’s psychology, the ‘souls’ are your inner states; deliverance is the liberation from fear, habit, and counterfeit comfort that pretend to rule your life. When you accept that the I AM is the LORD within, these devices lose their grip and you awaken to your true sovereignty. The tearing is a decision of inner alignment: turn away from the belief that you are defined by what deceives you, and affirm that you are the I AM here and now. The result is knowledge rather than belief: you know the Lord as your own awareness, and you live as freedom rather than pursuit.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place your hand on your chest, and declare: I AM the LORD of my inner kingdom. Feel the authority now as you tear away the pillows of illusion and kerchiefs of cover, freeing the inner souls; rest in the recognition that the I AM is present.
