Jeremiah 20:14 Birth Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

Suppose the day you were born is cursed; this is only a mental state you have assumed. The inner Jeremiah, speaking through the text, has identified birth with burden, but you can choose to reinterpret that birth as the moment your I AM enters into awareness. In Neville's vocabulary, you are not at the mercy of a cruel fate; you are the creator of fate through your inner state. The day of birth is not an event thrust upon you; it is the first breathing of a new state of consciousness you now claim. When you repeat the basic assumption I AM, and feel its reality, you untie the memory of suffering from the present experience. The curse becomes a call to revise, to reset the starting point from which all events arise. By refusing to define yourself by the old memory, you invite a future born of awareness. Jeremiah's lament is the doorway; through it you enter a new conviction: the birth you inhabit now is blessed because it is the birth of an awakened sense of self, and your life unfolds from there.
