Ingesting the Inner Word

Neville's Inner Vision

In the stillness, Ezekiel’s act of eating the roll is a metaphor for inward assimilation of a divine idea. The roll represents a living word that must be digested by the inner man until it becomes the breath and intelligence of your being. When Ezekiel opens his mouth, it is not merely mouthfuls of ink but the birth of a new state of consciousness. The house of Israel is your inner nation—habits, beliefs, and fears—that must be spoken to and brought into alignment with this newly nourished state. In Neville’s terms, the eat is an assumption; the spoken commission is the visible proof. Your I AM, the awareness you are, is the one that speaks through you as a living word when you have truly absorbed the idea. This is not coercion but alignment: you revise your inner picture until the outer world echoes the inner decree. The act of eating inaugurates power; speaking confirms transformation, a creative act initiated by your own consciousness.
