Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 8:6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 8 in context

Scripture Focus

6He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

Ezekiel 8:6

Biblical Context

The verse asks the prophet if he sees Israel's great abominations that would push God away from the sanctuary, and then commands him to turn and view even greater ones.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Ezekiel's vision, the house and its sanctuary symbolize your inner state of awareness. The 'great abominations' are the persistent thoughts, beliefs, and habits that cause you to distance yourself from the I AM, the living God within. When you identify with these inner carcasses, it is as if God withdraws from your sanctuary. Yet the command to 'turn thee yet again' invites you to turn your attention inward once more, for you will discover deeper layers of misalignment—fears, controls, idols of reputation—hidden in the folds of consciousness. Neville teaches that all such images are states of mind you can revise. By choosing to dwell in the I AM here and now, assuming the end of your desire, and feeling it as real, you erase the old abominations and invite the divine presence to renew itself within you. Your inner life becomes a conscious workshop where imagination creates reality.

Practice This Now

Assume the sanctuary of your mind is always present. When a troubling thought arises, declare 'I AM' here and now, and revise it into its divine image; feel the new state as real and dwell there for a moment.
