Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 16:10-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 16 in context

Scripture Focus

10And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

11Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

12And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:

Jeremiah 16:10-12

Biblical Context

The people ask why great evil has come upon them; the passage answers that the root is forsaking the Lord and following the imagination of the heart, not keeping the law.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your God, the I AM, is not a distant judge but the living center of consciousness. When you witness 'great evil' arising, you are seeing the imagination run free. The people’s question 'What is our sin?' becomes a mirror: have you not kept your interior law by turning to fictions born of fear, pride, or need? The 'fathers' who forsake Me are old states of consciousness you cling to; the ruin you meet is the natural outcome of not listening to the still, small voice within—the law you promised to honor. If you understand that all outward trouble is a misalignment of your inner state, you can correct it by turning your attention back to the I AM and to the living principle that animates you. The remedy is inner obedience, not outer ritual. Reclaim your covenant by imagining yourself wholly governed by divine order.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the I AM as your immediate identity. Then revise one anxious belief by declaring, 'I AM the law of my life,' and feel the inner alignment as reality shifts.
