Inner Justice in Crisis
Jeremiah 18:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah pronounces severe consequences on a people who have plotted harm; famine, bloodshed, and disaster follow as judgment. A sudden invasion brings a loud cry from homes, exposing the traps they've set.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of these verses as not about a distant people, but about the inner state you entertain. The famine, the sword, the bereaved wives, and the slain describe conditions that result when the mind clings to fear, guilt, or scarcity. 'They have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet' becomes the image of a mind setting traps for itself through forgotten promises, through attention given to lack. In Neville’s fashion, the I AM—your single, unconditioned awareness—sees this as a teaching, not a doom. When you believe you are at the mercy of famine or war, you are simply rehearsing a scene your imagination has drawn from the past. The remedy is simple: assume the end you desire as now true. Revise the memory that feeds the fear, and feel the reality of safety, abundance, and justice in this moment. Let the old cry of punishment fade as you choose the inner joy that breathes life into your world. The sudden troop you fear becomes the natural unfoldment of a new inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and declare: I AM the abundance now. Revise the memory of lack and feel it real.
