Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 35:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 35 in context

Scripture Focus

1Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

Ezekiel 35:1-2

Biblical Context

The word of the LORD comes to Ezekiel, ordering him to set his face toward Mount Seir and prophesy against it. Mount Seir represents a stubborn inner state that the prophet is called to confront.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Ezekiel, the word is not external history but a call to shift consciousness. Mount Seir stands as a stubborn inner stance—pride, fear, or hostility—that keeps the self divided from its power. Set thy face against means turn your attention with decisive resolve toward that inner state and refuse to yield to it. Prophesy, in Neville's sense, is not predicting the future but declaring a new inner reality. By speaking from the I AM, by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you stamp a new vibration into the air of your mind. When Ezekiel prophesies against Seir, he embodies a new ruler in the mind: the awareness that you command your inner weather. The word of the LORD is your own breath of consciousness; hearing it as I AM allows you to authorize transformation rather than punishment. The outer landscape shifts as the inner posture shifts. The reading invites you to practice a reversal: identify the stubborn inner mount, align your attention there, and repeat a decisive statement of change until it is felt as real.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, name Mount Seir as a stubborn inner attitude, and declare inwardly, 'I am the master of my inner weather.' Feel the new assurance in your chest and imagine the outer world responding to that inner posture.
