Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 27:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 27 in context

Scripture Focus

3And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.

4Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

Ezekiel 27:3-4

Biblical Context

Tyre is described as a city at the sea's edge, boasting perfect beauty and borders. The passage links pride and outward wealth to a state of consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Tyre is not merely a city; in Neville's reading it stands as a state of consciousness perched at the entry of the sea—the psyche's threshold where awareness can be swayed by appearances. The line 'O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea' marks the moment you face the boundary between your inner life and the outer world. 'I am of perfect beauty' is not vanity but a claim of your present sense of self. Yet beauty as external borders and the claim of wealth are the mind's attempt to secure value through form. The law here is not condemnation of richness but recognition that the self that speaks through such boasts is a displaced I AM. To transform, return to the I AM and watch your imagination create anew. In practice, you imagine yourself already possessing the beauty and abundance you seek, until that inner image feels true. Let the builders be your consistent thoughts and habitual states; let the sea be the vast unconscious reinterpreting your self-image. When you revise from within, the outward borders shift to reflect your renewed inner sense.
