Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 41:5-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 41 in context

Scripture Focus

5After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

6And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

7And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.

8I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

Ezekiel 41:5-8

Biblical Context

The passage lays out the temple’s walls and side chambers in exact measures, stacked upward from the lowest chamber to the highest, with a firm foundation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture this: the wall you measure is your boundary of awareness—six units wide, steady and fixed. The side chambers, four cubits wide and rising in three levels, are not stone and mortar but stages of your inner life entered not by external doors but by attention moving within the wall of your mind. The three stories ascending, the thirty in order, suggest an intentional ladder of consciousness, each level connected to the wall so you can hold yet not be held by the outer sense world. When Ezekiel speaks of an enlarging and winding about upward, he points to the breath of your awareness increasing as you refuse the limiting gravity of what is and imagine what God is — Presence. The foundations, a full reed of six cubits, symbolize a fixed, veritable base — your I AM, your immutable awareness — upon which experience stacks itself. As you hold this inner architecture in imagination, your life becomes not a procession of events but the outward expression of your inner sanctuary.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare I AM the temple, my awareness expands upward and outward, visualizing the six by four by three chamber surrounding you. Feel the ascent as your attention moves from the foundational ground to higher chambers, until Presence becomes your lived reality.
