Ezekiel 34:22 Meaning Therefore I Will Save My Flock

The gathered energies of a person, long preyed upon by the scattering appetites, are drawn back under the care of the inner shepherd, the ruling awareness that owns them. The flock is the herd of thoughts and vital forces that had wandered leaderless and been devoured by the stronger, greedier drives within. Now the higher self reclaims them and sets a division between beast and beast, sorting the coarse animal energies that trample and consume from the ones fit to be kept and fed. This judging between cattle is the inner discrimination that separates the useful forces from the destructive ones grazing in the same body. What was helpless prey becomes a protected herd under a single governing eye.

The awakened self takes charge of a person's own inner energies, guards them from being eaten by the raw appetites, and separates the beneficial forces from the ruinous ones sharing the same ground.

The flock: the gathered thoughts and vital forces of a person, the herd the ruling awareness owns and tends Cattle and cattle: the coarse animal energies grazing in the body, the greedy drives sorted from the useful ones
