Two Paths Before You: Inner Life

Jeremiah 21:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

8And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Jeremiah 21:8

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 21:8 presents a stark choice: the way of life or the way of death, set before the people as an inner decision. It invites covenant loyalty, urging obedience and discernment.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the LORD speaking 'Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death' is not a distant decree but an invitation within your own consciousness. The two roads are not places on a map but distinct states of being you cultivate in awareness: a life-state aligned with the I AM, and a death-state born of fear, habit, or resistance to change. When you hear this verse, hear the inner voice choosing among attitudes—loyalty to a living law, discernment, and the willingness to act from faith rather than from the memory of failure. The covenant becomes a discipline of mind: you move by inner commandments that sustain life rather than compel from without. The way of life arises as you assume the feeling of your fulfilled state—already living in harmony with divine principles—while the way of death manifests as attachment to lack or past errors. Your task is to inspect your inner weather, revise belief, and let the life-state feel real, present, and inevitable.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a moment of quiet, close your eyes and assume you have already chosen the life-path; revise any memory of the death-path by affirming the life-state now, and let that feeling flood your ordinary perception.
