Waymarks for the Inner Road
Jeremiah 31:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 31:21 invites Israel to set mental waymarks and fix the heart on the path it has walked, signaling a turning back to its cities. It speaks of turning back to the inner place of allegiance and home within.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, this text is a map of the soul’s return. The 'waymarks' are fixed assumptions stamped upon the premise of who you are; the 'high heaps' are elevated states of awareness you ascend by attention and feeling. Set thy heart toward the highway—the highway is the ceaseless flow of I AM, the living consciousness through which life is perceived. The 'virgin of Israel' symbolizes your pure, unconditioned self, not an external people. When you 'turn again to these thy cities,' you return to the inner centers of life—the cities of patience, fidelity, and love—by choosing again in imagination who you are. The practical command is to revise the sense of self from lack to fullness, to accept that you are always walking a road you have chosen in consciousness. Feel it: you are already home, already reconciled, already loyal to the covenant within. The moment you assume this conviction as real, the outer image begins to rearrange itself to match the inner alignment.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine yourself at a crossroads inside you; place concrete waymarks and declare, 'I am turning toward the highway of consciousness,' then feel the fullness of returning to your cities.
