Inner Fire: Purity and Selection

Ezekiel 5:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 5 in context

Scripture Focus

3Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
4Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 5:3-4

Biblical Context

Ezekiel describes taking a few in number, binding them in skirts, and casting them into the fire so that a purifying fire may sweep through the house of Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the chamber of your I AM, the 'few in number' are the few steadfast states of consciousness you protect—integrity, obedience, and purity. Binding them in your skirts symbolizes intimate possession and disciplined retention of these states within your awareness. The act of casting them into the fire is not punishment but inner test and transformation; it burns away idols, fear, and false habits, freeing the energy of those states to move through every aspect of your life. As the purified fire radiates from those chosen states, it touches the whole 'house of Israel'—your thoughts, emotions, perceptions, and habits—awakening a new form of life in your mind. This is obedience to the I AM in action: when a select few true states are purified, their flame refines the whole consciousness. Remember: imagination creates reality, and the inner selection determines what the outer world becomes.

Practice This Now

Choose one core state you wish to cultivate (e.g., purity or obedience). Imagine binding this state to your chest and then cast it into a symbolic fire, feeling its purification flood your entire mind and life.
