What Have I Offended? Inner Prison
Jeremiah 37:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 37 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah questions why he is being imprisoned, revealing that punishment comes from the mind's judgments rather than some external offense.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah's question to Zedekiah is not a historical complaint but a doorway into your own inner state. The prison and the offense are inner dispositions; the king represents your outer attention—your critics, your duties, your fear of consequence. When you hear, 'What have I offended against thee?' you are hearing the I AM inquire within: what belief of guilt have I allowed to imprison my awareness? The I AM causes events in your life, but you must align your inner state with liberty first. If you cling to a verdict that you have offended someone, you keep yourself locked in a cell of justification and delay your true freedom. The prophet's bold question invites you to revise that belief: claim innocence in the realm of consciousness, declare that you have offended none of life’s appearances, and stand in the awareness that you are the I AM itself, free and unbound. When you adopt this inner position, your outer circumstances begin to move toward release as the mind's light outshines the cell.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and envision yourself before a symbolic king; declare 'I have offended no one; I am the I AM,' and feel the freedom flooding your body until the prison walls dissolve.
