Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 37:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 37 in context

Scripture Focus

1The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

Ezekiel 37:1-2

Biblical Context

Ezekiel is carried by the Spirit into a valley full of very dry bones; the scene presents inner desolation waiting for life to enter.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this vision, the bones are not external facts about a battlefield; they are the dry, scattered ideas within your own mind—forgotten desires, doubts, memories that have not yet found expression. The hand of the LORD upon you, carried by the Spirit, signals the expansion of awareness—the I AM—moving you through the landscape of inner weather. The valley stands for a state of consciousness where life seems absent, yet life is not gone; it is latent, waiting for your act. Your task is not to condemn the dryness but to witness it with calm, to recognize what is alive and what remains inert. As you pass among the bones, you begin to sense faint signs of breath, a scriptural whisper that life is possible here. This is your inner prophecy: life can return to any part of your being when the I AM speaks through your imagination. By assuming the feeling of reality for this resurrection and aligning your imagination with the truth you desire, you awaken a future that already exists, converting dry desolation into living presence.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine yourself in that valley; touch a dry bone and breathe life into it with the breath of your I AM. Then softly affirm, 'Life is awakening within me now,' until you feel the sensation of breath moving through the scene.
