Inner Submission, Inner Land
Jeremiah 27:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 27 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that nations which place themselves under the yoke of the king of Babylon will be allowed to remain in their own land, tilling and dwelling there.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah speaks in the language of nations, and in Neville’s hearing those nations are the varied states of consciousness that arise within you. The ‘yoke of Babylon’ is the habitual thought that some power outside your I AM governs your life. When you “serve him”—when you attend to fear, limitation, or outward circumstance as if it had authority—you place your neck under that yoke and you remain in the land that belief creates. You till there, by living out the story of lack, and you dwell there because your attention keeps it present. Yet the interior truth, as I teach, is that you are the awareness that makes the land appear. The remedy is not flight but revision: you change the ruler you assent to by assuming a different governor inside—your I AM, the living, perceiving I who reigns in every moment. When you acknowledge that you are free, and you feel the land already governed by the divine presence within, the old yoke loosens and your inner soil becomes fertile for new conditions. The verse then becomes a promise: your inward allegiance determines your outward land.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, and assume, 'I am the Lord of this inner land.' Revise any fear by returning your attention to the I AM and imagining you tilling and dwelling there freely.
