The Inner High Places

Ezekiel 20:28-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 20 in context

Scripture Focus

28For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
29Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
Ezekiel 20:28-29

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.
