Jeremiah's Inner Departure

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the breaking up of the Chaldean army as the loosening of fear in your own mind. When the outer siege ends, Jeremiah’s move is not a geographical accident but a movement of consciousness: he leaves the old city of Jerusalem and enters the inner land of Benjamin, the sanctuary within where a new vocation can arise. The phrase 'separate himself thence in the midst of the people' becomes your guideline: maintain a distinct state of awareness while you remain among the world—not by denial, but by clear inner orientation. Separation here is discrimination—you distinguish your I AM from the crowd's panic, yet you walk in their midst with a quiet confidence that the real work begins from within. The outer event is the sign that your inner state has shifted; a new work, a new promise, and a new sense of purpose emerges from the interior realm. In practice, you imagine yourself already in the land of Benjamin, living from your inner vocation, and let acts in the world reflect that decree.
