Jeremiah 18:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 18 in context

Scripture Focus

16To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
Jeremiah 18:16

Biblical Context

The verse portrays a land made desolate and passersby reacting with astonishment and mockery, reflecting the consequences of collective inner states.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, the desolation Jeremiah speaks of is not punishment from without but a state you have consented to within. The perpetual hissing is the inner chorus of fear and lack that follows a mistaken image. The passing crowd is your thought-world—astonished by the old image and wagging its head in disbelief because you still believe in it. When I awaken to the truth that I am the I AM, the land begins to reform. The exile is the old self you have outgrown; the return is the new field you cultivate with imagination, feeling, and unwavering assumption that the desired order is already yours. The moment you revise the mental picture and feel it real, the outer world becomes a sign of the inner shift, not its cause. Your mind is the sovereign soil; plant new seeds of abundance and watch desolation yield to life as your awareness expands.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a fertile inner land; then repeat, 'I am the I AM, and this land is mine now,' feeling the soil warm and the harvest ready as you walk forward as if it were already so.
