Inner Mizpah Readings: Jeremiah 40:10

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, the 'I' who speaks in Jeremiah is your own awakening presence—the I AM that knows. Mizpah is not a town but a boundary of awareness, a vantage point inside where you observe the world of appearances. The Chaldeans— the approaching conquerors—represent the flux of circumstance pressing upon you. To say, I will dwell at Mizpah to serve them, is to decide that your anchorage is not in resisting life but in being fully present where life unfolds. The instruction to gather wine, summer fruits, and oil and put them in vessels is an allegory for gathering the fruits of imagination: sensations, memories of abundance, ideas of plenty, and the energy (oil) that sustains feeling. Put them in your vessels—the keepers of your inner world—and dwell in the cities you have taken, meaning use the experiences you already possess as the sovereign city-states of your consciousness. Providence and guidance become your inner alignment: external events need not dictate you; your inner state can direct outcomes toward a future you desire, even in exile.
