Inner Jerusalem: Jeremiah 14:16

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's reading, the verse is not a decree against others but a mirror of your inner state. The people and the prophets are inner dispositions—fears, guilt, and the habit of doom you have allowed to roam your mind. The streets and famine symbolize the scarcities you have nourished by belief in separation; the sword is the cutting edge of judgment you apply to yourself. When you believe these scenes, you bury the old self under the weight of condemnation; thus nothing is left to bury because you have refused to honor what you have outgrown. The line for I will pour their wickedness upon them becomes an inner law: acting from fear returns its effects, while awakening to the I AM transmute conditions. The work is to reverse the tale by recognizing you are the observer and the creator of the scene. Restore the sense of wholeness by letting the I AM revise the story, seeing the city as a living symbol of a mind restored to peace, abundance, and unity with divine consciousness.
