Biblical Context

The text prescribes eating by weight and drinking by measure, at intervals, symbolizing disciplined provision.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s stark ordinance lies a teaching: your life is a state of consciousness that feeds itself by belief. The meat and water are not material morsels, but fixed quantities of vitality you allot to your inner life—daily nourishment measured and apportioned by your assumptions. When you adopt a state of 'I AM' awareness that already possesses your desire, the quota of energy you require becomes available, and the timing bends to your inner conviction. The call to eat 'by weight' and drink 'by measure' invites you to fix your inner economy: decide what you allow into your senses and grant it with unwavering consistency. The phrase 'from time to time' points to cycles of renewal—so practice a rhythm of intake and rest within imagination until your outer life synchronizes with the cadence. This is not punishment, but spiritual discipline: obedience to a higher idea yields the nourishment you seek, and exile becomes the stage where you learn to return to the fullness of your true self.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and imagine a plate weighed exactly twenty shekels in your hand and a cup measured at a sixth of an hin; feel nourishment arriving now as you assume the state you desire.
