Inner Good Figs of Exile

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah's good figs are not a history lesson but a map of consciousness. The exile to Babylon becomes the movement of your attention from a fixed image of self to a broader, ripening state of awareness that can be nourished by imagination. God, the I AM within you, calls these inner states good figs—qualities you may have overlooked yet which are being carried to a new land for your good. In Neville's practice, the word 'came unto me' marks the moment your awareness receives a new assumption. When you acknowledge that such states are acknowledged by your divine self, you invite them to grow rather than resist. The acknowledgment is providence: you are guided to soil where they may ripen. Feel the relief and confidence that come with revising your self-image to the truth that you are already the good fig being nourished by God's presence.
