The Inner High Places
Ezekiel 20:28-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ez 20:28-29 recalls how, after entering the land, people looked to every high hill and tree to offer sacrifices, provoking their offerings there. The prophet then asks, What is the high place unto you? naming it Bamah, a critique of worship anchored outside the heart.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Ezekiel's line the land is your consciousness and the hills are the fluctuating images of desire that you sometimes treat as separate from your I AM. When they 'saw' high places, they imagined sanctuaries apart from the I AM and poured out offerings there—the ritual of belief externalized. The question 'What is the high place unto you?' invites you to examine where your inner attention builds altars. The name 'Bamah' becomes the label for any belief you cherish that assumes you must worship somewhere else than the I AM within. The true sanctuary is not a temple you visit, but the state of awareness you inhabit. If you dwell in fear, you worship fear at a high place; if you dwell in gratitude, you worship gratitude there. In Neville's method you do not deny ritual; you elevate the altar to the mind's one altar: the I AM here and now. Assume the end, revise the belief, and feel the reality as born from within your imagination.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: For a minute, assume the end—'I AM the land, I dwell in the I AM.' Then revise any external altar as imagined and rest in the inner sanctuary of awareness, feeling it-real now.
