Within Idols, The I Am
Jeremiah 2:26-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Israel is ashamed for worshiping lifeless idols, turning to stock and stone while God remains unseen. In trouble they cry for salvation, but such external powers cannot save them, revealing a breach in covenant.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah’s scene is a map of your inner geography. The thief who is found is the old state of consciousness that hides behind habit and image, ashamed when its game is exposed. The house of Israel—its rulers, priests, prophets—are the many voices of your mind clinging to idols—images you have made and then mistaken for power. Their turning of the face from God to the idol is a confession that you have treated the I AM as a distant king rather than your own I AM realized here and now. In their trouble they cry, ‘Arise, and save us,’ yet the cry arises from separation, not from unity. When you ask where your gods are, you are being shown that only the inner God is both creator and Savior; outward forms decline when you insist on the reality of separation. The remedy is not to mend the idols but to awaken to the truth that you are consciousness, and the I AM within you is the only true power. Align with that presence in every moment, and salvation becomes a natural consequence of your worship.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, rest your hand on your chest, and feel the I AM as your immediate reality; revise any belief in external salvation by affirming, 'I AM within me now, and I am saved.'
