Inner Responsibility of Ezekiel 18:20

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened I AM, this verse announces a truth you must own in the theater of your own mind. The 'soul that sinneth' is the old image you still identify with—the 'self' born of fear, limitation, and inherited stories. But no person bears the iniquity of another; the law operates within your own state of consciousness. The 'death' of the soul is not punishment but the shedding of that old image as you decide to inhabit a new I AM. When the righteous act is asserted, it is the present state you now live in, not a distant moral ledger. If you persist in a victim or blame story, you will experience a corresponding inner death—the dissolution of your current sense of reality. Your inner consistency—the exact feeling that you are already free, brave, and pure—produces outward conditions that reflect that state. The verse invites you to take full responsibility and to align your inner law with the life you desire.
