Inner North Measure
Ezekiel 42:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 42 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that the north side was measured with a measuring reed.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, Ezekiel’s measuring reed is not a parchment map but a beacon of inner discipline. The north side you measure is the boundary of your awareness—the exact line where sacred attention begins and ordinary noise ends. When you move the reed through your mind, you are practicing the art of consent: you decide what thoughts are permitted inside the circle of holiness and what must stay outside. The number five hundred stands for proportion: enough space to think clearly, enough order to keep purity intact. This is not a rule but a living choice, made by the monarch I AM within. As you assume a state of perfect awareness, you revise the sense that chaos rules you. The inner temple becomes a place where true worship happens because the boundary is held by feeling and belief—imagination becomes the altar, and your present experience follows the felt truth that you exist as I AM, separate from the confusion of mere sensation. Measure, then dwell, and watch reality conform to your inner measure.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I am the boundary; I measure my mind with the I AM.' Visualize a bright circle around your thoughts and feel order, holiness, and reverence filling that space as real.
