Inner Grape Of Personal Guilt
Jeremiah 31:29-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage rejects collective guilt and declares personal accountability. Each person bears the result of their own choices.
Neville's Inner Vision
This text speaks in the language of a mind that believes in inherited guilt, yet the deeper law is the I AM awakening within. The sour grape is not a family curse but a state of consciousness one accepts as real. When the mass mind cries, 'the fathers ate the sour grape,' it reveals the habit of blaming the seen world instead of shifting the inner scene. Jeremiah does not condemn you to stand under another's error; he describes a turning point: each dies for his own iniquity—a conversion of inner cause into outer effect. Therefore, your present teeth-on-edge are but a signal of a belief you still entertain about yourself. If you identify with past mistakes or ancestral error, you are chewing the grape; you feel the bite of consequence. The divine law operates instantly when you assume a new state: imagine, feel, and declare that you are not governed by another's sin, but by your own I AM awareness. The moment you revise, the old pattern dissolves, and the body follows the new inner verdict, for imagination is the sole creator of reality.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I am not defined by another's guilt; I create my own life now.' Feel the truth of that assumption in your chest as if it already happened.
