Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 31:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 31 in context

Scripture Focus

6All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.

7Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.

Ezekiel 31:6-7

Biblical Context

The passage presents a symbolic tree whose roots drink from living waters, extending shelter and influence to all life and nations. It invites you to see your own consciousness as the root and shade under which circumstances flourish.

Neville's Inner Vision

Know that the scene Ezekiel paints is not a distant empire but the state of your own consciousness. The fowls and beasts in the verse are only your thoughts and habits nesting under the branches of your inner life. The mighty tree represents your I AM awareness, the very center from which all outward appearances germinate. When your root runs by living waters, energy and vitality feed every facet of your fortune; prosperity and protection are not bestowed from without but radiantly spring from within. Nations and creatures dwelling in the shade symbolize circumstances that gather because you accept the truth of your own greatness. The length of the branches is the reach of your imaginative life—a measure of how far your sense of self extends. To know yourself thus is to know the Kingdom of God within you, a present embodied reality that commands order and harmony in every arena. Remember, imagination creates reality; plant your tree by the waters of I AM and watch the world come to shelter under its shadow.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and picture a great tree rooted by living waters in the center of your chest. Say I AM the tree, and under my shadow all nations are safe and prosperous, and feel that state as real now.
