The Potter's Bottle Within
Jeremiah 19:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God commands to fetch a potter's bottle from the elders and priests as a symbolic sign of judgment and the call to true worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah 19:1 presents a call not to a ritual object but to a state of consciousness. The LORD is the I AM within you, the ever-present awareness that can observe and re-form itself. The potter's bottle stands for your mind as a vessel shaped by habitual thoughts, loyalties, and conditions—the ancients of the people and the priests inside you. By gathering these inner authorities, you witness that your world is a projection of your current state. The sign invites you to examine what you have worshipped and to choose a new pattern of belief that aligns with your present awareness. Let the bottle be held before your I AM, and feel the shift as you revise its contents with faith in a truer worship. When you act from that interior conviction, the inner kingdom moves toward a harmony where outward events confirm the truth you have assumed in consciousness, rather than repeating old forms.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, picture a clay potter's bottle in your hands, and place within it the elders and priests of your mind. Then revise by declaring a new truth as already real, and feel it until it becomes your immediate experience.
