Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 2:2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

2Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

Jeremiah 2:2

Biblical Context

God proclaims He remembers Jerusalem’s early kindness and the love of her espousals when she faithfully followed Him through the wilderness in a land that was not yet sown.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 2:2 speaks not to a distant nation but to the inward Jerusalem within you—the state of consciousness in which you are joined to your Source. When God says 'I remember thee,' He is naming the memory of the I AM you already are. The kindness of thy youth and the love of thine espousals are not relics of history; they are the vivid impression left by your commitment to follow the unseen Guide through the wilderness of unrevealed possibilities—the land that is not sown. This memory invites a revision, not a lament: you are called to return to the original covenant by feeling yourself as the beloved, currently cherished, by the very Power you call God. The present moment is that wilderness; your task is to assume the feeling that what God remembers of you is true of you now. In the imagination you plant the seed, water it with gratitude, and harvest a consciousness that manifests as your life.

Practice This Now

Act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling of God remembering you as His beloved—rehearse the youthful fidelity until it feels real in your chest. Let this revised memory quiet any sense of lack and affirm that you follow the inward Guide today.
