Inner Desert, Inner Return
Ezekiel 29:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 29 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezekiel 29:11–12 speaks of a forty-year desolation of Egypt, a judgment that leaves its land and cities empty, and scatters its people among the nations.
Neville's Inner Vision
Interpretation in my language, I am fullness. Egypt is not a place but a fixed habit of thought in the mind—identification with limitation. When Ezekiel says no foot of man shall pass through for forty years, this is the inner stillness of consciousness that refuses to move within the old pattern. The desolate land is the bloodstream of a belief that has outlived its usefulness; the cities laid waste symbolize the end of personal strategies that once seemed permanent. The scattering of the Egyptians among the nations is the mind dispersing these false identities across the many facets of experience, so the I AM can reassemble awareness from the center. The promise is not punishment but a cleansing, a withdrawal of attention from the old Egypt so that an inner exodus is possible. In that quiet, the inner land becomes available for a new visitation by God, the I AM—an awareness that recreates a life according to the reality you accept within. Forty years is a season of inner training, patience, and reorientation; your imagination is the architect.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume the state: the land within you is restored; the old Egypt is scattered, and you awaken to the land of your I AM. Hold that feeling-it-real for a minute.
