Inner Bread of Ezekiel
Ezekiel 4:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse commands Ezekiel to prepare a single loaf from mixed grains for 390 days, symbolizing a prolonged inner discipline amid judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 4:9 is not a dietary law but a parable of inner nourishment. The six grains represent the many thoughts, beliefs, and experiences you harbor within one vessel—your mind. When they are mixed into one dough, you are choosing to feed a unified self, rather than a chorus of competing fears and desires. The bread you eat becomes the state you inhabit; you lie on your side for 390 days—an ongoing posture of attention, a deliberate pause in normal activity to listen to the I AM that pervades all. In Neville's psychology, this is the moment when the outer world mirrors the inner condition. The \"siege\" is your consciousness pressed by circumstance, and the \"bread\" is your disciplined sense of being. By insisting on a single loaf from many ingredients, you are declaring that your awareness is not scattered but focused—your reality is the state of consciousness you dwell in. The time is symbolic, not literal; the practice is to maintain that singular belief while observers and events test it, until it becomes effortless.
Practice This Now
Assume right now that you are the bread—unified, nourishing, and complete. Close your eyes and imagine gathering all your scattered thoughts into one bowl and bake them as a loaf in your mind, then taste the I AM.
