Inner Temple Perimeter Vision
Ezekiel 42:16-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 42 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ez 42:16-19 presents the temple's four-sided perimeter measured with a reed. This act marks a sacred boundary around the complex.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read as a psychological enactment, Ezekiel's measuring reeds are the steady attention by which you set the boundaries of your inner sanctuary. The four sides—east, north, south, west—are not walls of stone but four quarters of your consciousness where awareness flows. The reed around them is your I AM, the constant awareness that never loses its focus. By measuring five hundred reeds on each side, you demonstrate a stable, unchanging stance: holiness is not a place you visit but a state you inhabit. When you align each direction with a feeling of reverence, you separate the sacred from the profane within your mental landscape. The act of boundary-making is not to fence out people but to fence in divine presence; it creates a perimeter where thoughts, fears, and urges can be acknowledged but not permitted to define your reality. Thus presence of God fills your awareness when you honor the interior geometry: discipline, discernment, and unconditional watchfulness become your spiritual domain.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, take a slow breath, and imagine you holding the measuring reed of I AM. Walk the four boundaries of your mind's temple and declare, 'This is holy space; nothing unworthy crosses here; feel it real now.'
