Inner Market of Ezekiel 27

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s catalogue of cities and wares, glimpse your own mind as a bustling marketplace. Damascus stands as a state of consciousness busy with making, its splendour expressed in wine, wool, and the richness of all wealth. Dan and Javan moving to and fro along the fairs signify the currents of thought and memory sweeping through your inner market. The goods you barter are not iron and cassia alone, but beliefs, habits, and feelings you have accepted as real. When you hear of their market, you are invited to recognize that every exchange in that inner bazaar is a movement of your awareness: what you value, what you fear, what you imagine, and what you persist in feeling. The key is not to condemn the economy of your mind, but to revise it from the level of consciousness. Remember that wealth in this sense is not the accumulation of external things but the alignment of your inner dispositions with your desired state. By choosing a new currency—imagination—you fund the reality you wish to inhabit, and your inner merchants begin to trade in seeds of perception rather than appearances.
