Inner Lament, Outer Manifestation
Ezekiel 27:31-32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 27 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
People shave their heads and wear sackcloth to mourn Tyre, signaling a deep inner judgment. The lament is an outward sign of an inner upheaval inside the mind.
Neville's Inner Vision
I am awareness, and Ezekiel speaks to what you are becoming in your own consciousness. The 'they' who shave their heads and clothe themselves in sackcloth are your habitual thoughts and feelings of penitence—your mind’s ritual of punishing a dream you called real. Tyre, the mighty city set in the sea, stands for a pattern you built in imagination, a sense of separation you have treated as enduring. When the cry goes up, 'What city is like Tyre?' you are being invited to see that the answer is not a distant ruin but a question about your own inner construction. You can interpret the lament as evidence that you are free to revise it. You, I AM, govern the stage of life; the scene you inhabit can be rewritten by a single assumption. By assuming the end—where the inner city is dissolved and the sense of lack is replaced by wholeness—you invite the conditions that will reflect your revised consciousness. The outward lament then becomes a doorway to a renewed self, aligned with the truth that God is awareness, and imagination creates reality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes for a few minutes and assume the inner Tyre has fallen, replaced by wholeness. Feel it as present-tense I AM awareness and let that revised state guide your next moment.
