Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 16:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 16 in context

Scripture Focus

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 16:11-12

Biblical Context

Jeremiah explains that the people forsook God by chasing idols and not keeping the divine law. Their outward actions reflect the inner imagination of their evil hearts.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, the text is not about distant history but about your own inner cinema. The fathers who forsook me are the stubborn conditions of your mind you refuse to let go: fear, lack, pride, the habit of resignation. The idols are the images your imagination has mistaken for reality. When you walk after the imagination of your evil heart, you refuse the I AM within and refuse to keep the inner law that writes your life. The remedy is to turn from the outer fuss and revise your consciousness. Assume you are already the one who keeps the divine law; feel the I AM as your constant governor. See yourself as free from the need to rebel against God, and let the outer appearance shift to match your inner alignment. The world you call external is only the reflection of inner images; change the images, and the scene transforms. You are not bound by generations of error, but by the present act of imagination.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the I AM is governing you now. Revise any sense of lack by affirming I am aligned with God's law within, and feel that inner reality shaping your day.
