Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 11:18-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 11 in context

Scripture Focus

18And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings.

19But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

Jeremiah 11:18-19

Biblical Context

The passage shows God granting knowledge of others' schemes. The prophet likens himself to a lamb led to slaughter, unaware of the plots against him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 11:18-19 is not about external fate but about the consciousness that witnesses it. The LORD giving knowledge is the I AM awakening in you to the hidden movements of life—the thoughts and stories you once took as separate from you. When you say I know it, you declare that the entire theater of events, even those designed to destroy you, arises from your inner state. The 'lamb' motif becomes your mortal self gently led by your higher self, not crushed by others but moved by your unwavering awareness. The devices of the world are simply projections of mistaken identity; as you acknowledge your own sovereignty, the desire to erase your name dissolves, and you remain remembered in your true sense of self. So the threat is a signal to revise, not a sentence to fear. By holding in imagination the truth that you are the awareness that sees and knows, you convert threat into opportunity, and the 'land of the living' becomes a living state of consciousness you inhabit rather than a place you labor to defend.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume I am the awareness that knows all doings. Feel the truth of your presence as the observer of every scene, then revise any threat into the conviction I am safe, I am remembered in truth.
