Inner Covenant of Jeremiah

Neville's Inner Vision

Zedekiah's private oath and Jeremiah's reply are not historical whimsy but inner states of consciousness. The king is the surface will that fears truth; his 'third entry' and 'house of the LORD' are the temple of awareness where an inner problem is reviewed. Jeremiah is the living inner voice, offering guidance only if the heart is ready to hear. The whispered oath 'As the LORD liveth' anchors the I AM, a steadfast awareness that will not terminate truth or condemn the messenger. The question 'If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?' mirrors the mind's doubt about heeding or resisting inner counsel. When you privately vow to protect the truth and to listen, you are aligning with the inner reality that makes your world respond. The moral invitation is clear: fidelity to inner counsel and obedience to truth invite a remade external life, as your consciousness chooses to awaken.
