Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 16:45-46 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 16 in context

Scripture Focus

45Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

46And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

Ezekiel 16:45-46

Biblical Context

Ez 16:45–46 portrays the speaker as a product of a mixed maternal lineage and sister to cities that rejected their husbands and children. It highlights inherited loyalties and judgments reflected in present self-image.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the I AM, the outward is never other than a remembered thought. Ezekiel names a mother as a Hittite and a father as an Amorite to reveal how you inherited belief systems—fear, ritual, doubt—habits of the mind that appear as your people, your sisters, and even cities. Samaria and Sodom symbolize two currents within: the left-hand of judgment and the right-hand of compromise. Neither is you, but they are you until you awaken. In Neville's psychology, your present conditions are the literal echo of your inner state; by refusing further allegiance to those old forms, you can re-enchant your life by a simple act: assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Imagine consciously that you are loyal to the one God within, the I AM, and outgrow the old mother’s scripts. When you feel it as real, your inner landscape shifts, and the surrounding scenes bend to your new inner state. You are not bound by ancestry; you are the I AM who shapes what is seen.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, name the 'mother' and 'sisters' as old beliefs, then assume, 'I am the I AM, true worshiper.' Feel the inner alignment and let your world reflect that revised allegiance.
