Inner States of Ezekiel 24:23
Ezekiel 24:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It depicts outward signs of judgment and a prohibition against grieving in the usual way. Instead, people are portrayed as pining away for their sins and turning grief toward one another.
Neville's Inner Vision
That text is a map of inner life, urging you to read the outward images as symbolic of your own state of consciousness. The tires on the head and shoes on the feet symbolize the old identity and stories you still wear as if they were your reality. The command not to mourn is a call to cease feeding the old narrative with attention, while the line about pining away for iniquities exposes how you cling to separation by dwelling on past faults. In Neville’s terms, such conditions are not external judgments but the weather of your interior life, stirred by thoughts and feelings you have accepted as real. The decree to mourn toward another becomes a doorway to forgiveness and release, an invitation to align with the I AM that never changes. The true transformation is inward: recognize yourself as the I AM—whole, unalterable, and creatively active—and permit the outer world to reflect that inner truth.
Practice This Now
Imitate the shift now: close your eyes, declare 'I AM THAT I AM,' and visualize laying aside the old tires and shoes at the feet of your true self. Feel a fresh sense of wholeness rising as you reinforce the belief that you are already free.
