Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 19:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 19 in context

Scripture Focus

1Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;

2And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,

Jeremiah 19:1-2

Biblical Context

God instructs Jeremiah to fetch a potter's bottle and go to the valley of Hinnom to proclaim the words He will reveal. The act is symbolic, signaling inner judgment, purification, and the potential to reshape the mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this vision, the bottle symbolizes your present state of consciousness; the elders of the people and priests are the accumulated beliefs within you, the old structures you carry. The valley of the son of Hinnom is your inner furnace where judgments burn away. The command to proclaim the words that I shall tell thee invites the I AM—the awakened awareness within you—to speak through you. This is not history but a practical method: assume a new inner state, revise the old story, and feel it real until it becomes your living sensation. When the bottle breaks, old conditions are released and space is made for a new form shaped by your imagination. Exile and return echo the rhythm of consciousness—you temporarily leave the old self and return to a fuller, truer self created by inner truth.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, hold the potter's bottle in your imagination, gather your old beliefs as the elders within you, then step into your inner valley, declare the inner words the I AM is revealing to you, and feel the bottle breaking as a new vessel takes shape.
