Inner East Measure Of Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezekiel's measuring reed becomes a symbol for the mind's act of defining inner space. The east side stands for a rising light within my consciousness; by taking the reed—my attention—I set a boundary around the places where I allow thought to roam. The five hundred reeds represent the fullness and completeness of the self I claim as sacred; to be round about is to encircle every door of perception with holiness, separation from fear, and attentive reverence to the I AM within. When I imagine this boundary, I feel the Presence of God not as distant, but as my own awareness. The act of measuring is not a conquest but a choosing: I acknowledge that my inner state can be pure, intact, and protected by unwavering consciousness. In this reading, the verse invites a practical inward discipline: establish a mental perimeter, fill it with integrity, and let the I AM saturate the space with quiet power. Thus, Ezekiel's measurement becomes a daily practice of inner holiness and self-possession.
