From Gilead to Inner Wilderness
Jeremiah 22:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God declares that Judah's royal house is like Gilead and the head of Lebanon, but He will make it a wilderness and send destroyers who will cut down its cedars.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the king's house of Judah is your inner state of awareness, the I AM that stands as sovereign over imagination. When you identify with wealth and stature—the Gilead and the head of Lebanon—you invite both expansion and risk, for the outer image is only a reflection of inner state. The wilderness forecast simply signals a moment when consciousness thins its habitual images; it is not punishment but an invitation to re-choose. The destroyers and the fire signify the thinning of outdated pictures that no longer fit your divine pattern. In Neville's terms, the I AM can revise any scene by assuming a higher self is already present. So you shift from a threatened kingdom to the realized kingdom by dwelling in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, even before conditions change. Persist in that assumption; let the inner movement declare, I am the consciousness that forgives, creates, and sustains. The outer will follow as you remain loyal to the inner truth that your awareness is the source, not the circumstance.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes and declare, I AM the sovereign of my inner kingdom. Revise the scene: the wilderness becomes a thriving grove, and you feel the shift as if that reality is already present.
