Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 2:24-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

24A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

25Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

Jeremiah 2:24-25

Biblical Context

Jeremiah likens the wandering people to a wild donkey chasing the wind and foreign loves, showing a restless heart that rejects true worship. They claim there is no hope, clinging to idols while the inner covenant loyalty remains unclaimed.

Neville's Inner Vision

The wild donkey is your restless mind, snuffing the wind of appearances; the strangers are outward idols seeking happiness apart from the I AM. The cry 'there is no hope' reveals a consciousness belief that wanders. In Neville's mode, you reverse that belief by recognizing you are the I AM, the aware space in which all pictures arise. You choose covenant loyalty by refusing to chase winds and by withholding the impulse to satisfy thirst with outer things. The 'month' of wandering dissolves as you inhabit the inner image of wholeness, understanding that you already possess what you seek. The personal responsibility is to revise the self-concept from external longing to inner unity, feel the relief of being rooted in God within, and let that felt reality color every outward desire.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and repeat 'I AM' until the mind quiets; then revise the scene to see yourself already dwelling in the inner covenant, the wild donkey tamed by awareness.
