Mountains Bloom: Inner Renewal
Ezekiel 36:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage envisions inner renewal: the mountains of Israel symbolize inner states that will sprout and bear fruit as divine favor approaches and the ground of life is prepared.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Ezekiel, the mountains are not distant lands but states of consciousness that will shoot forth their branches when the inner soil is nourished by faith. When God says I am for you and I will turn toward you, He speaks to the I AM within me, the unconditioned awareness that precipitates form. The fruit that Israel’s people are to receive is the fruit of their own renewed life—desires ripening as my inner world is tilled and sown. As I dwell in the conviction that the I AM is for me, my assumptions turn toward the fulfillment of my aims; the moment of waiting dissolves as inner turning becomes outer turning. The soil is prepared by attention, the seeds are my elevated thoughts, and the branches are the visible signs of the life that manifests when I consent to receive.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of already having the renewal; imagine you are the mountains that shoot forth branches, and feel God turning toward you, the soil of your life tilled and sown for a harvest you now claim.
