Inner Jerusalem Awakening
Jeremiah 15:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 15:5 speaks of no pity for Jerusalem, as if abandoned to its fate. In Neville’s view, Jerusalem represents your inner state of consciousness, and the call to tend it inwardly rather than seek pity from without.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah's cry is not a history lesson but a map of the mind. Jerusalem here is your inner city, the state of consciousness you nurture by belief. The question 'who shall have pity upon thee' exposes the illusion that pity must come from an outer source. In the Neville lens, the I AM, the awareness within, is the only true pityer and sustainer. When you sense abandonment, you are only proving that you have identified with a story rather than with the living presence that never leaves you. The shaft of calamity in exile becomes a signal to revise, to shift from sympathy sought in the world to the acceptance that you are already cared for by the divine I AM. Allow the feeling of being cherished to rise; imagine Jerusalem not as a ruined city but as the crowned mind awake to its own wholeness. In that inner return, outward conditions align to your inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling: I am compassion itself, the I AM that cares for Jerusalem. Revise any sense of abandonment by affirming the inner presence now and feel-it-real Jerusalem restored.
