Three Stories of Inner Chambers

Ezekiel 42:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 42 in context

Scripture Focus

5Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.
6For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
Ezekiel 42:5-6

Biblical Context

The text describes three-story chambers where the upper rooms are shorter, the galleries are higher, and there are no pillars, making the upper section more straitened than the lower and middle parts.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Ezekiel’s plan as a map of your inner house. The upper chambers are shorter, the galleries rise above the lower and middle, and yet there are no pillars to bear the weight. Consciousness loves ascent, but without inner supports—the truths you accept, the discernment you exercise, the presence of God within—the higher rooms become cramped, straitened from the ground you stand on. The three stories mirror three states of awareness in your being: the lower, the middle, and the higher. When you try to dwell in the upper rooms while neglecting the inner pillars, you feel confined by external measurements and by your own doubt. The remedy is simple: acknowledge that true elevation comes not from height, but from alignment with the I AM, the sustaining Presence. See the upper chambers not as distant realms but as states of consciousness formed by conviction that God is the pillar. The absence of pillars reveals the danger of leaning on form; by building faith, wisdom, and Providence as inner supports, the structure loosens its constraint. When you imagine, 'I AM' the pillar of this house and feel it now, the three stories breathe in harmony with the ground of God.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the presence of the I AM as the pillar of your inner house. Close your eyes and feel that the three-storied mind rests on this unwavering support; declare, 'I am the pillar; all ascent is now grounded in God within.'
