Pastors of the Heart Within
Jeremiah 3:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 3:15 promises shepherds who feed you with knowledge and understanding. In Neville's view, these pastors are inner states aligned with the heart of God within, arising when you assume their reality.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah’s promise is not about a line of external emissaries, but about the inner pastors that God, your I AM, places within your consciousness. 'Mine heart' is the living, compassionate center of awareness; when you incline toward that heart, you invite teachers who know your true needs and feed you with knowledge and understanding. These pastors are inner voices of discernment, imagination, and love—not distant authorities but intimate guides that reveal what is true within you. Your imagination is the sanctuary where they dwell; as you assume you are already under their care, you awaken to a stream of insight that arrives as knowledge and understanding. Do not seek from without; discover from within, for the I AM resides there and speaks through your inspired perception. This is providence you cultivate by dwelling in the feeling of being guided, trusting the inner teacher who speaks with quiet, clear assurance. Practice states of being, not merely facts, and you will find every circumstance fed by such pastoral wisdom.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, imagine a wise inner pastor at your shoulder, and repeat, 'I am guided by the heart of God; I receive knowledge and understanding.' Feel the assurance as your present reality.
