The Inner Yoke Of Imagination
Jeremiah 27:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 27 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah is commanded to make bonds and yokes and wear them, sending them to distant kings; this acts as a symbolic sign of surrender to authority and reflects the path from exile to return. The outward events mirror the inner state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the LORD speaks as I AM awareness. The bonds and yokes Jeremiah makes are not metal; they are the images you wear in consciousness—the insistence that you are governed by a higher authority. By placing the yoke about your neck and sending it forth to the distant kings, you are rehearsing a state of acceptance and obedience to the inner decree. The outer nations stand for conditions you believed constrained you: Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, Sidon—each is a fragment of your world of limitation. The act signifies you choose to be guided by a divine purpose rather than by fear. Your present events—the exile, the return—become reflections of your inner movement. To master them, refuse to react to appearances; instead, accept the role assigned by your I AM and feel the reality of that ruling state now. The prophet’s visible sign is your inner conviction made external. This is how imagination creates reality: you wear the yoke, the world carries the sign, and your life moves according to that inner statute.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively place a symbolic yoke on your neck and proclaim, 'I am governed by the I AM within.' Feel the feeling of inner obedience and notice a subtle alignment in your daily life as you revise your sense of limitation.
