Inner Shepherd Within You
Ezekiel 34:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 34 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezekiel 34:23-24 speaks of one shepherd over the people and the LORD as their God, with David as prince, signaling a covenant of intimate leadership and presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine Ezekiel’s shepherd as a blueprint for your inner life. The one shepherd is a single, cohesive state of consciousness that feeds every part of you and directs all movement. The servant David represents your ruling imagination—your inner king who sits as prince among your thoughts, desires, and memories. When you align with 'the LORD,' you are inviting awareness to be your God, the self-constituting source of life within you. The line 'I the LORD have spoken it' becomes the assurance that this setup is already true in your being; your inner governance is established, and its covenant presence operates in place of doubt. As you dwell in this internal arrangement, you experience harmony: the inner flock is fed, your identity remains under a benevolent ruler, and your life begins to reflect the kingdom of God within. This is not a future promise but a present reality you can affirm now through the power of awareness.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, assume the state 'I am the shepherd over my inner realm.' Feel your awareness feeding every part of you and declare, 'The LORD is my God,' here and now.
