Inner Counsel, Outer Currents
Jeremiah 18:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 18:23 speaks of God knowing the plots against him and asks that the sin of his enemies not be forgiven, but punished in God's anger.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your enemy is not a person but a state of consciousness opposing your desired vision. When Jeremiah speaks of those who plot against him, he reveals the inner dialogue that resists a new life. The counsel against me to slay me are old beliefs, fears, and judgments arrayed in your mind to overthrow your dream. Yet the I AM your abiding awareness knows these thoughts and can rewrite their sentencing. The call that their sin not be forgiven and to blot them out points to dissolving the old script by refusing to identify with it. Let them be overthrown before thee means let outworn ideas crumble before your settled assumption that you already inhabit your goal. The time of thine anger is the charged moment; you do not retaliate, you revise with love. By acknowledging God is within and that you are the Lord of your inner world, you reverse the polarity: attention to your true state performs the overthrow. Begin now by assuming the state you seek as already real, and let inner opposition fade under the certainty of I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In the next moment, close your eyes and repeat I AM the I AM within; my inner world already holds the fulfilled state. Feel the reality of that state as if it is now, and let the old counsel dissolve.
