Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 34:18-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 34 in context

Scripture Focus

18Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

19And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

Ezekiel 34:18-19

Biblical Context

Ezekiel portrays leaders who consume the good pasture and trample the rest, causing the flock to suffer. The imagery shows how neglect contaminates what should nourish.

Neville's Inner Vision

As you read these lines, know that the 'good pasture' and the 'deep waters' are your own states of consciousness. If you have eaten up the good and yet tread down the residue, you are denying the very nourishment your inner self requires. The 'flock' is your desires, your ideas, your future self—those you claim to feed with your attention. When you foul the remaining water with doubt or guilt, you teach your mind that life is scarce and you must fight for crumbs. God, the I AM, is merely the awareness that observes these movements; it is not the judge but the witness that can change what is seen. By turning to imagination, you can reverse the scene: see the field flourishing, the waters clear, and your flock fed by every portion of your mind. You do not demand change from others; you revise your inner assumption until it feels true. The moment your inner land shifts, your outer world follows, and you discover that the healing of the pasture begins with a single, deliberate revise in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Assume the good pasture is yours now. Close your eyes, feel the soft grass beneath your feet and the clean water in your hands; declare, 'I am nourished by abundance now,' until the feeling is real.
