Inner Vine, Inner Covenant
Jeremiah 2:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 2:20-21 portrays God breaking the people’s yoke and calling their wandering unfaithful as they seek idols, while acknowledging they were planted as a noble vine. The message invites inner covenant loyalty and true obedience over outward ritual.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of this not as a history lesson but as a map of your inner life. The yoke broken and bands burst signify the moment you awaken to a broader self—not as punishment but as release from a limited self-image. You speak, 'I will not transgress,' yet you still wander after external signs—on every high hill and under every green tree—searching for security in images or rituals. The noble vine is your true being, the right seed within, designed to bear fruit when nourished by the consciousness that you are the I AM. To become the degenerate plant of a strange vine is to forget this inner loyalty and to mistake appearances for reality. But the vine remains in you even when perception falters; you are not the outward form but the awareness that witnesses it. The call is to align your inner state with that divine life, restoring fidelity to the covenant within you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume the I AM is the gardener and you are the noble vine. Repeat, 'I am the I AM, faithful to the inner covenant,' and feel the sense of inner loyalty returning.
