Inner Hearing of Ezekiel 3:7
Ezekiel 3:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plain sense: The verse states that the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they will not listen to God; they are stubborn and hardhearted. It presents listening as a state of consciousness in the reader's inner world.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that Ezekiel voices a resistance you carry inside. The 'house of Israel' is not a nation but the many facets of your mind that refuse to hear the inner voice I call God, the I AM within. When I or you say, 'they will not hearken unto me,' I am confessing a state where I do not listen to guidance and cling to hardheartedness as if it were real. This is only a dream of my making. The moment I choose to listen, to treat the inner prophet as a constant companion, I begin to reshape the scene. The hearing I resist is the hearing that makes; when I assume I am already guided, act in accord with that inner direction, and feel it as real, resistance dissolves. The verse thus becomes practice: persist in the imagination of listening, and the outer forms of life align with my inner state. Eventually the voice I heard as distant becomes intimate and faithful.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume, now, 'I am receptive to inner guidance.' Feel the truth of listening as real, and let that feeling guide your next action.
