Imprisoned in the Inner House

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah’s imprisonment is not merely a political act; it is a symbol of your present inner state. The princes represent restless fear-thoughts that lash out and smite your conviction, and Jonathan’s house is the worn structure of memory and habit where you have allowed a particular idea about yourself to be kept as ‘the prison.’ In Neville terms, the inner speaker—the prophet—remains undefeated because he speaks from the I AM, the unwavering awareness. When you believe a scene of confinement exists, you have chosen a state of consciousness; you have literally imprisoned your own sense of being. The healing act is simple: assume a new state, feel it real, and rest in the I AM until the old feeling of prison dissolves into freedom. The verse thus becomes a guide: suffering and trials are inner movements that can be revised into promise by the way you imagine and declare yourself.
