Inner Betrayal, Outer Trust
Jeremiah 12:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns that even close kin can betray, and flattering speech can mask disloyalty. It invites inner discernment over outer appearances.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the text becomes a map of your inner landscape. When Jeremiah speaks of thy brethren and the house of thy father, he speaks of the voices inside that pretend to guide you—family, tradition, the crowd that flocks after you. In Neville’s practice, betrayals arise not from others, but from a state of belief you have allowed to rule you. The moment you assume a new, untouchable state—the I AM as the sole reality—those flattering voices reveal themselves as echoes of an old condition, not authorities over your life. Your true ally is the inner I AM, the consciousness that remains unmoved by appearances. Do not seek safety in others' words; furnish yourself with the feeling that you are already loved, protected, and guided by the one presence that never changes. Trust is an inward certainty, not a reaction to others’ praise. By shifting your state, the outer betrayals dissolve into quiet grace.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the I AM as your sole present reality and revise the belief that kin control you. Close your eyes, feel the inner stillness, and repeat, 'I AM, I AM, I am,' until it feels real.
