Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 23:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 23 in context

Scripture Focus

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 23:3-4

Biblical Context

Israelites turn to Egypt in idolatry, described as two sisters belonging to God but living by old loyalties; Samaria and Jerusalem stand as inner states of consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this vision, Ezekiel speaks not of geography but of your inner kingdoms. Aholah and Aholibah are two states of consciousness—the elder and the younger sister—rulers of your attention as you move through life. The 'Egypt' they commit whoredoms in is not a distant land but a pattern of habit and desire that tempts you to seek fulfillment outside your own I AM. When you press the imagery of breasts and virginity, you are gazing at how your mind has pressed fresh possibilities into old forms, bruising the virgin imagination with worn-out rituals. Yet the names are not separate beings; they point to you as the one who can re-name and re-claim them. Samaria is Aholah, Jerusalem Aholibah: two currents within you that have claimed allegiance to outer things, rather than the single, unchanging I AM at the center of your being. The more you accept that you are the I AM, the more these sisters fade and your true worship—aligned with your eternal self—awakens your offspring as new, creative expressions. You are, indeed, the mother and the birth of your world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and declare, I AM the I AM. Imagine the two sisters yielding to that light, Egypt dissolving into a symbol, and feel the birth of a new inner state—your continued, obedient worship in consciousness.
