Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 14:2-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

2Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

3And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.

4Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

5Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.

6And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

Jeremiah 14:2-6

Biblical Context

Judah mourns as gates languish and the land is parched. Water is scarce, and the cry of Jerusalem rises in lament.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judah’s drought is not a history lesson but the soul’s inner dry spell. The languishing gates and the ground chapt reveal a state of consciousness that has forgotten its source. When I accept that I AM, I realize the lack I observe is a belief in separation, a drought of awareness that thinks rain comes from outside. The pits that yield no water symbolize attempts to nourish the self through outer means while the inner fountain sleeps. In this approach to Scripture, events are movements of consciousness, and the weather of the mind yields what I permit. Therefore, by assuming a different state—binding myself to the living water within and recognizing that supply is the activity of I AM—I refresh the landscape of thought. The fields blossom in imagination first, followed by the feeling of abundance dawning in the body. The drought becomes a door, inviting revision: I am the one who can irrigate with attention, I can whisper I AM, and the land answers with green, light, and renewed life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and repeat I AM the living water within me now. Imagine rain filling the pits of your mind until the land within you blooms.
