Inner Justification in Jeremiah 3:11

Neville's Inner Vision

Judah and Israel are not distant lands but inner dispositions. When the verse says backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah, it exposes the mind’s habit of rationalizing separation from the I AM. The 'backsliding' is the recurring tendency to turn away from inner awareness, to pretend you are less than the whole. The 'self-justification' is the ego’s clever law that your present conditions prove you are right to remain as you are. Yet the Lord’s word is not verdict but invitation: the battleground is within. The true Israel is your higher self, the part that keeps the Covenant by inner discipline; treacherous Judah is the lower, reactionary mind that blames and defends. In Neville’s psychology, every scene in your life is a projection of your state of consciousness. To alter the drama you must revise your assumption and feel it real as the I AM. Do not seek change in outer events; claim the steady, indivisible awareness that you are the One, and watch the inner scene smoothly realign to covenant loyalty.
