Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 34:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 34 in context

Scripture Focus

15And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

16But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

Jeremiah 34:15-16

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 34:15–16 describes how the people proclaimed liberty and formed a covenant, but they later reversed course and forced freed slaves back into subjection, thereby profaning God’s name.

Neville's Inner Vision

Liberty is an inner condition, not a political decree. The verse speaks of a house called by my name—the inner sanctuary of I AM—where a genuine covenant is made in consciousness. When you turn away, you pollute that name by clinging to control and restoring bondage in your own mind. The law here is that what you allow in your thought about others you also authorize for yourself. To heal the breach, renew the covenant within by assuming that freedom is the natural state of all beings now, and that you are governed by love rather than fear. When your inner state aligns with universal liberty, outward effects harmonize with the new reality you have already imagined.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume, with feeling, that all beings are free in your consciousness now; hold that truth for a few breaths and revise any past memory of imposing bondage with an act of inner compassion.
