Cleanse the Inner Jerusalem
Jeremiah 13:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse names Jerusalem's outward idolatries and asks when she will be made clean. It highlights a longing for purification beginning within the heart.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah’s cry is not a history lesson but a hinge in consciousness. The adulteries and abominations are not only out there; they are the counterfeit affections your I AM tolerates in your inner world. Jerusalem stands for the heart’s city, and the hills and fields are inner landscapes where fear, craving, and false worship have set up idols. Woe to you, indeed, until you wake and ask, 'When will I be made clean?' Neville’s teaching makes God the I AM within—ever-present awareness, not a distant judge. To heal the scene, shift the state: cease seeking outer reforms and return to your only reality—the I AM. As you assume the felt truth of unity with the divine, the adulteries fade, the hills brighten, and the city is cleansed by your recognition of your true nature. The cleansing is subjective: revise self-conception until purity is your ordinary mode of being.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and feel the I AM as your sole reality; repeat, 'I am clean now,' revising your self-image until purity becomes your natural state.
