Inner Courtyards of the Self
Ezekiel 42:1-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 42 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezekiel 42:1-4 describes an outer north court and chambers with measured doors, walks, and galleries, signaling an orderly structure. It presents a symbolic space rather than action, pointing to inner access to sacred presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
In a Neville Goddard reading, the north represents a state of consciousness, a disciplined direction of attention. The utter court and chambers are your inner architecture; doors are the choices you willingly open or close, and the galleries show layers of perception you traverse or reveal. When you mentally step into the north and walk toward the chambers, you are rehearsing calm, order, and holiness as a continual practice of the I AM. The true Presence of God becomes the felt sense that you are the observer—the I AM—witnessing inner movements without claiming them as self. The exact measurements quiet the mind, giving form to your spiritual intention. By seeing structure as a mirror of your inner state, you learn to treat each boundary as a doorway to greater awareness and to the divine presence already within you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you are standing in Ezekiel’s north court now; revise your self-image to be wholly awake and holy, and feel I AM dwelling at the center as you enter the inner chambers.
