Hidden Words, Inner Truth

Jeremiah 36:16-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 36 in context

Scripture Focus

16Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
17And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
18Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
19Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
Jeremiah 36:16-19

Biblical Context

The rulers hear the prophetic words, fear them, and vow to tell the king; Baruch explains that Jeremiah spoke them and he wrote them in ink, after which the princes tell Baruch and Jeremiah to hide.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a translation of inner states of consciousness. The fear that grips them is not merely concern for reporting words, but the unsettling thought that inner truth might disrupt the outer appearances. Baruch writing what Jeremiah spoke is the conscious mind recording a decree issued by the I AM within. The ink in the book is belief formed in imagination, a script your inner man can read aloud when the time is ripe. The princes’ command to go and hide is the mind’s protective mechanism, a mercy of concealment until the authority you seek—your own outer life—can bear it. In Neville’s sense, the words themselves are events of consciousness; the writer and the spoken word are states you can inhabit. When you align with the I AM, you know you are the author, the witness, and the guard of your truth. Let fear be the signal to retreat inward briefly, not to resign but to rearrange belief so that, when you choose to reveal, it comes with certainty and ease, and the outer world rings true to your inner crown.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of being the author of your own life: feel the truth already recorded by the I AM; write it in your inner book and then retreat to your inner chamber, awaiting the right moment to reveal it.
