Crowned Cedar of Consciousness

Ezekiel 17:22-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 17 in context

Scripture Focus

22Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
23In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
Ezekiel 17:22-24

Biblical Context

God declares He will take the highest branch of the cedar, plant it on a high mountain, and make it grow into a majestic cedar; under its shade, birds dwell, and all trees will know the Lord’s sovereignty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the inner reading says: the 'highest branch' is a higher I AM within consciousness, a state of awareness you plant in your mind. The 'high cedar' becomes the sovereignty of your inner I AM—an unshakable crown that can govern every moment. When you consent to this plant, you place it on the 'mountain' of awareness—the inner hill where belief and feeling meet. From that seed arise branches and fruit; your life will express order, grace, and abundance, a goodly cedar whose shade shelters every thought and feeling. The fowl of every wing—your desires, fears, and possibilities—dwell under it because they find rest in the security of this realized state. The other trees of the field—the changing conditions of health, wealth, and relation—know that the Lord of your inner world has brought down the high tree, exalted the low state, dried up the green, and caused the dry tree to flourish. This is the law of consciousness, not history: when you assume the fulfilled state with feeling, it becomes your outer world. The decree, 'I the LORD have spoken and done it,' is your inner yes that makes it so.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and imagine the highest branch of I AM planted on a mountain of awareness; feel the shelter of its shade over every passing thought. Then live from the assumed state as if it is real now.
