Cries to False Gods

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a Neville-like revelation, the verse teaches that the 'gods' named by Jeremiah are not distant deities but states of consciousness the people have mistaken for power. When trouble comes, they run to idols—outer supports, rituals, images—believing salvation rests there. But in the Goddard logic, you are the thinker and the perceiver; you imagine your life into being. No statue or ceremony can override the fixed assumption you hold about your safety. The true saver is the I AM within, the sole governor of your experience. Therefore every cry to an idol reveals a misalignment between what you believe and the presence of God as your awareness. The moment you revise that belief, the trouble loses its grip, because you are now standing in the living realization that the inner God is your source. So use crises as opportunities to retrace your steps to inner certainty: choose the state of wholeness, claim that you are already saved, and let that inner sovereignty do the work, until the external seems to vanish in the light of your inner truth.
