The Burden You Assume
Jeremiah 23:34 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It warns that anyone—prophet, priest, or people—who claims 'the burden of the LORD' as authority will be punished for the claim and its misuse. It calls for accountability and righteous discernment in how one speaks for God.
Neville's Inner Vision
From Neville’s vantage, the 'burden of the LORD' is not a distant mandate but a state of mind you project into your world. When you call something a burden upon others as if it came from God, you are painting your own consciousness with the weight of punishment and separating yourself from your innate I AM. Jeremiah names the doom of such misrepresentation to remind you that authority is an inner alignment, not an external claim. The moment you identify with the I AM - the presence that is your true self - the so-called burden dissolves into perception. You are asked to take responsibility for your inner speech and imagination, because every thought becomes your world. Reframe the sentence, revise the claim, and feel the reality of God within you now. If you insist on a burden, you are preaching from a false state; if you rest in the I AM, you awaken to justice, clarity, and creative power in you and through you.
Practice This Now
Practice: sit quietly and revise any burdened thought into the I AM. Repeat softly, I am that I AM; there is no burden in me, only alignment with divine life.
