Jeremiah 18:15

Biblical Context

Jeremiah laments that the people have forgotten God and burned incense to vanity, stumbling away from the ancient paths.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah points to a forgetting that is really a forgetting of the I AM within you. When you forget God, you wander into vanity, chasing fleeting sensations and external appearances. The ancient paths are your established inner ways—habits of awareness that keep you aligned with the divine witness behind all activity. To stumble is to slip from that ongoing psalm of awakening into resistance and confusion. The spiritual student learns not by clinging to outward reform, but by turning inward and reseeing. The solution is a simple reinvestment in the living I AM; imagine that you are always where you belong, a personified awareness that never leaves its center. By dwelling in the feeling of being the I AM, you reduce the pull of vanity and restore the path that traces back to your true nature. In practice, you revise the moment by assuming the sensation, I AM here, I am whole, I remember, and let this remembered presence fill your body and your day.
