Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 28:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 28 in context

Scripture Focus

4With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

5By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

Ezekiel 28:4-5

Biblical Context

The verses describe gaining riches through wisdom and understanding, and how those riches lift the heart. They reveal a tendency for wealth to inflame pride when identified with one's own power.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the king as the image of the self who mistakes wealth for power. The verse shows that wealth grows from a certain inner conviction, and that such riches lift the heart when the mind is identified with it. Neville would say wealth is not separate from your awareness but a movement of consciousness through which the I AM manifests in form. If you trust your cleverness instead of the I AM, you become proud and unbalanced. The remedy is to shift identity from I possess to I AM awareness that sustains you. By assuming the feeling of already being provisioned and acknowledging the I AM as the source, you revise the scene: riches appear as the natural outflow of your inner condition, not a trophy of personal merit. Sit with the sense of inner abundance and allow humility and discernment to lead your choices, letting true wisdom guide provision.

Practice This Now

Take 5 minutes to assume I AM wealth is already present; revise the image that riches come from personal cleverness to the idea that you are the channel through which riches flow; feel the reality of inner abundance.
