Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 20:14-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 20 in context

Scripture Focus

14Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.

15Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.

16And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

Jeremiah 20:14-16

Biblical Context

Jeremiah curses the day of his birth, curses the messenger who brought the news, and wishes ruin on the city—an inner lament about life's heavy burden and how perception can shape reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Jeremiah reveals a state of consciousness, not a historical grievance. The day of birth symbolizes the moment you awaken to a belief that life must prove itself through outer events. The messenger is the thought or news that confirms fear or happiness from without; the overthrown cities are your old self-structures that refuse to repent until you shift. The morning cry and noon shouting are persistent thoughts that keep you attached to lack. In Neville’s terms, the cure is to reverse the assumption and awaken to the I AM as your permanent, bless-ed awareness. Treat the entire scene as a dream you can rewrite: bless the day you were born as the onset of awakened consciousness; acknowledge that Providence is already within you, guiding every breath. When you inhabit that inner state, the old self dissolves, and a new order—loving, presence-filled living—emerges from within you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am blessed in the day I was born,' then feel the truth of that placement as if it has already happened; repeat for 5 minutes, revising the memory into a doorway to present abundance.
