Ancient Paths Revisited Within

Jeremiah 18:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 18 in context

Scripture Focus

15Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
16To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
17I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
Jeremiah 18:15-17

Biblical Context

It depicts people forgetting the I AM, worshiping vanity, wandering from the ancient paths, and bringing desolation and exile upon themselves.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this text, the people turn away from the I AM, lighting incense to vanity—an outer sign of inner neglect. You may hear their path as a hurried, crowded street, a mind clogged with wants and pretenses, wandering from the ancient paths of true alignment. The result is desolation, a visible pattern of consequence that shows up as everyone passing by gawking and the land’s hollowness. But remember: the scene is not a punishment in a distant God, but a condition of the state of consciousness that produced it. When you imagine your life, you are not under judgment but under a law of consciousness: you become what you think, you dwell where you imagine. To heal, return to the inner path that is ancient because it is the timeless I AM within you. Replace vanity incense with quiet attention to your identifications, revise the belief that you are defined by lack, and feel the reality of a land alive with consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and declare: I AM, and I alone, the God within me. I revise every belief that forgets this I AM, and feel the inward path becoming clear, as east wind scatters vanity from my land.
