Jeremiah 31:4

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 31:4 speaks of restoration: you are promised to be rebuilt, adorned with joy, and to move forward in merry celebration as your inner state is renewed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the consciousness that names you, the words 'Again I will build thee' are not a historical decree but a law of your mind. The outer 'Israel' becomes simply your current state of awareness; the rebuilding is an act of imagination performed by your I AM. The 'virgin' indicates your pristine, unmoved capacity to begin anew, untainted by yesterday's stories. When you affirm 'I am being rebuilt now,' you are not asking for favors but assuming a state that already exists in possibility. The 'tabrets' speak of music—the inner confirmation that alignment has occurred; the dances are the movements of joy that flow when belief and feeling are in harmony. This is a renewal that precedes expression in form. Trust that this inner construction is real in consciousness; the rest will follow as the world responds to your inner state. The promise to 'build thee' again is your invitation to practice revision— to tell a new story about who you are and to feel it as truth here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being rebuilt now. Visualize yourself adorned with joy, stepping forth in a merry dance, and repeat, 'I AM being rebuilt now,' until the sensation is real.
