Sanctified Gates of Consciousness
Nehemiah 3:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Nehemiah 3:1–2, Eliashib the high priest and the priests build and sanctify the Sheep Gate, setting its doors and extending the sanctification to the towers, with neighbors from Jericho and Zaccur the son of Imri joining the work.
Neville's Inner Vision
From Neville's inner-sense, the Sheep Gate becomes the entry to your own consciousness, the place where you wash and consecrate thought before it enters your day. The high priest and priests are your highest states of awareness—discernment, reverence, and disciplined imagination—rising to build a gate that keeps out misleading pictures and welcomes the truth you intend. To sanctify is to choose the feeling that what you imagine stands as true in you. The doors are the pivot where perception meets intention; the towers you sanctify are your guardrails of consistency, the points at which you hold the vision steady. The men of Jericho and Zaccur the son of Imri represent allied impulses—allies and energies within you that support the work when you align them with your purpose. In such a moment, your inner city becomes a harmonized field where unity arises from within; you construct with imagination, and the world outside follows the quiet, chosen reality you hold.
Practice This Now
Assume the Sheep Gate within you is sanctified now. When a worry arises, revise by closing the door to it and feeling the calm, true intention entering your heart.
