Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 23:2-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 23 in context

Scripture Focus

2Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

3And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

4And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

Ezekiel 23:2-4

Biblical Context

Ezekiel presents two sisters born of one mother as symbols of two inner states of worship and loyalty. Their tale shows consciousness can drift toward outward forms rather than true devotion.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every mind there are two inner sisters, Aholah and Aholibah, named by Ezekiel and claimed by the I AM. They are not separate beings; they are states of consciousness you entertain. When you accept the external world as your guide, when you chase images in Egypt—the land of appearances—you are not worshiping God but the memory of power, a false rite. This is the whoredom Ezekiel speaks of: the misalignment of your affectionate attention with the one Presence that you are. Yet the verse says they were mine; the I AM claims them, not to condemn, but to redeem. Your present awareness can revise them. See that Samaria and Jerusalem are not places outside you but tendencies you cherish. Your work is to return to the inner I AM, to align with true worship by imagining that the I AM is the sole ruler of your house. Then the sons and daughters—fruit of your imagination, the events and experiences you live—will embody trust, faith, and inner peace rather than the fever of external rites. The two sisters become a single temple when you persist in this consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the end: Aholah and Aholibah are one within you, the I AM. Feel it real that true worship is inner alignment; revise every external image as a facet of your inner temple.
