Inner Vineyard Restored
Jeremiah 12:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah laments that leaders have destroyed the vineyard and left the land desolate because no one cares. In Neville's frame, that ruin is a state of mind awaiting inner stewardship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your text speaks of a vineyard trodden underfoot and a land made desolate, not merely in the fields, but in the consciousness you carry. In the Neville lens, the pastors are ideas and habits that have worn down your inner soil, leaving desolation where tenderness and fruit should have grown. God is the I AM within you, and the 'land' is your present state of awareness. When you accept the scene as final, you agree with the Psalm of doom; when you revise it, you begin the inner renovation. The desolation arises because no heart lingers with care for the garden; you forget that your imagination is the true steward. By assuming a new state—rich, fertile, and protected by your unwavering attention—you cultivate a different weather within. The fallen path becomes the seedbed for new growth as you dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, not the memory of loss. Imagination creates reality; therefore, imagine the vineyard thriving, the hedges lush, the fruit abundant, and align your actions with that inner vision.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine your mind as a thriving vineyard tended by I AM. Then declare quietly, 'I am the gardener of my inner life; my vineyard is restored.'
