Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 47:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 47 in context

Scripture Focus

1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

Ezekiel 47:1

Biblical Context

The verse describes waters issuing from the temple’s threshold, flowing eastward toward the altar, signaling inner life and divine presence manifesting. In Neville's view, these waters symbolize inner states of consciousness that refresh the self.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine Ezekiel’s temple as your own consciousness and the I AM as the living water within. The waters issuing from under the threshold reveal that life flows from the boundary you hold about yourself; when you quiet the thought and acknowledge I AM, the flow rises eastward—toward the forefront of your awareness. The right side of the house and the south side of the altar point to the disciplined center of your turning toward healing. This is not geography; it is a metaphor for inner movements: belief, perception, feeling, and release. As you dwell in the I AM, you do not chase after change—you become the change, and the waters move through you, renewing every corner of your inner temple. The healing comes as your inner stream deepens, transforming limitation into possibility and awakening the newer creation within. In this inner temple, you discover that present consciousness is always the source of outward experience; the external world simply echoes your inner renewal.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, feel the I AM as a living current at your inner temple's threshold, and revise any sense of lack until the waters flow. Then dwell in that feeling for a few minutes and notice your outer life reflecting the inner renewal.
