Jeremiah 12:1-2 Reimagined

Neville's Inner Vision

To Jeremiah, God is spoken of as righteous, yet the inquiry reveals a split in consciousness. In the Neville lens, the 'LORD' you plead with is the I AM within you—the fixed, knowing awareness that does not condemn but reveals. The question 'Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?' is not about others out there; it is about a state of mind that believes in lack, separation, and delayed justice. When he says 'thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins,' he points to speech that sounds pious while inner motive lags behind; this is your own mental weather when you speak of righteousness without fully inhabiting it. The solution is not to argue with appearances but to revise the inner premise: that you are the I AM, perfectly just, perfectly prosperous, and immediately identifiable with inner righteousness. Planting and rooting refer to the beliefs you water with attention; if you tend to doubt, you harvest delay; if you tend to faith in your true nature, you witness conditions bend to your inner state. The inner law is always at work; you acknowledge it, and it turns outward reality to match.
