Inner Trust, Outer Consequences
Jeremiah 17:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 17:5-6 warns that trusting in man and making flesh one's strength leads to a dry, barren life. True security comes from the I AM within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the inner eye, this passage is not a verdict on people but a statement about states of consciousness. To trust in man is to lean on external appearances, the flesh-arm that claims authority over your reality. When your heart departs from the LORD—the I AM awareness—you wander in a desert of mind, a parched land that mistakes absence for truth and overlooks good when it arrives. You may resemble the heath in the desert, not seeing what comes because you expect it to arrive from outside rather than from within. The cure is simple: return your attention to the I AM, imagine from the end, and feel the wish fulfilled as already real. Your imagination is the ark of safety; by dwelling in the inner possibility you cultivate a life that mirrors it. Do not seek outward proofs; revise, assume, and keep the feeling of your unity with the divine presence. In this inner trust, you reclaim the promised land and awaken to a reality that follows the characteristic of your inner states.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the feeling of the I AM as your present reality. Revise a moment of reliance on external proofs and see it resolved from within.
