Inner Dominion in Jeremiah 27:6-7

Neville's Inner Vision

Take this parable as a map of your inner life. Nebuchadnezzar represents the dominant state of consciousness you currently entertain; the lands and the beasts of the field are the outward conditions you accept as real because you have believed in that state. When God calls Nebuchadnezzar His servant, He is stating that this inner state serves your larger purpose by providing a stage on which life can unfold. Yet the line that all nations shall serve him until the time of his land comes means that every circumstance will bow to the strength of your present mental pattern. This is not judgment but natural consequence of a state grown strong enough to command events. To change the world, return to the I AM within and assume a new state as if it were already real. Do not chase change in the world; revise your inner state, feel the wish fulfilled, and let the land yield to your new command. Exile is the old limitation; return is the power you awaken through imagination and faith.
