Inner Vision: Cleansing the Temple
Ezekiel 8:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God questions the prophet about the people’s abominations and their violence, provoked by outward ritual. The verse links inner disorder to external ceremonies.
Neville's Inner Vision
See the scene not as distant judgment but as a map of your inner life. The house of Judah is your current state of consciousness; the abominations are patterns of thought you tolerate; violence is the inner turbulence you enact when you believe separation. The branch at the nose is symbolic of clinging to symbols and appearances while ignoring the presence that actually blesses every moment. When you identify with these inner images, you awaken the inner divine anger that reveals the split between what you claim and what you live. But you can choose to revise this scene by returning to the I AM, your constant awareness. In that shift, you stop feeding the dream of conflict and begin to inhabit a new temple made of calm, holiness, and unity. Practice seeing the vision as a mirror of your mind and declare you will no longer judge yourself by violence but by wholeness. In that act of radical acceptance, true worship arises inside and the landscape of the mind is reshaped.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the I AM presence fills your inner temple. Then revise: I am peace, I am holiness; all violence and abomination are memories of a mind I have chosen to outgrow.
