Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 22:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 22 in context

Scripture Focus

4Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

5Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.

Ezekiel 22:4-5

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of guilt for shedding blood and defiling with idols, bringing reproach and mockery from near and far.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s words you are not viewing a distant nation but your own state of consciousness. Guilt is a mind-set; blood is the memory of separation from the I AM. When you cling to deeds and idols, you age into a sense of coming near a final day. The reproach and mockery you hear are inner echoes—your own judgmental voice turned outward. The cure is simple and radical: assume the state of I AM, the living awareness that loves without motive. See that you are not defined by what you did or by what you worship, but by the one presence that never leaves you. When you dwell as I AM, the sense of guilt dissolves; the projected mockery dissolves because you are no longer the one who carries defilement. You awaken to a reality where all past acts fade into a single, luminous now. Practice this recognition and you will find the inner kingdom replacing the outer reproach.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and repeat: 'I AM that I AM, pure Consciousness now.' Visualize the idol dissolving into light, the guilt melting, and rest in the felt truth of I AM for five minutes.
