Ezekiel's Inner Graves

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, Ezekiel is not naming tombs but the living states of your own consciousness. The graves set in the sides of the pit are the borders you have drawn around fear, doubt, and judgment within. The company round about her grave represents the chorus of old beliefs you have allowed to stand beside that fear—thoughts of danger, worthlessness, and doom—that keep your inner life in bondage. Elam and her multitude around the grave symbolize a gathered pride and terror in your mind, a collective story you tell about yourself that keeps you uncircumcised from spiritual awareness, cut off from your true vitality. Yet they bear their shame with them to the pit, meaning these states travel with you until you revise them. In the realm of imagination, you are the I AM, the watcher and creator. By gently and deliberately assuming a different movement—the feeling of the wish fulfilled—outlining in your mind a realm where swords fall away and the land of the living is alive with confidence—you awaken a new sequence of events. The death ends when you refuse to identify with the pit and choose life by consciousness.
