Westward Measure Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Turn the verse into a mirror of your heart. Ezekiel’s turning to the west is your turning of attention to the horizon of your own mind where images are born and loyalties are proven. When you read that he measured with a reed, hear the instrument not as a ruler of outward space but as the instrument of awareness through which you test the boundaries of your inner temple. The quantity—five hundred reeds—signifies the extent of your holy ground, the portion of your consciousness you affirm as belonging to the Presence. To measure is to name, to separate what belongs to holiness from what does not; it is an act of covenant fidelity, a confirmation that your inner state is orderly and dedicated to God within you. The act is not external conquest but interior alignment: you align your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with the I AM that you are. In practice, this turning west is a turning toward the truth of your own divinity, a deliberate calibration of your inner sanctuary where Presence resides.
