Inner Valley Renaming: Jeremiah 19
Jeremiah 19:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah condemns Baal worship and the horrific rites. It prophesies that the place will be renamed, signaling a turn from death-dealing worship to accountability.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your consciousness, this text speaks as an inner drama, not a historical event. The high places of Baal are your entrenched beliefs that life must bend to fear; the 'burnt offerings' are the sacrifices you offer to those beliefs to prove them true. The line 'which I commanded not, nor spake it' reveals that such acts do not originate in the I AM that you are; they arise when you forget who you are and listen to separation as guidance. The prophecy that this place will be renamed 'The valley of slaughter' signals the death of the old self as a dream; in Neville's terms, death is the shedding of a thought, not of life. The inner shift is to recognize your true worship is alignment with the I AM, the awareness that creates reality, not sacrifice to fear. When you realize that, the inner terrain yields to a space of peace, power, and compassionate action, and your outward life begins to reflect that reality.
Practice This Now
Assume a new inner name for your landscape today: 'the valley of awakening'. Feel it real by repeating, 'I AM the life of this space,' until the sensation settles in your chest.
