Inner Judgment, Inner Return
Jeremiah 40:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 40 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The captain reports that the Lord has pronounced evil on the place. The calamity is described as the outcome of sin and disobedience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah’s outward event speaks not to a distant land but to your inner landscape. In the Neville frame, the 'place' becomes a state of consciousness, and the captain of the guard is the inner authority that confronts you with what you have allowed into your mind. When the sentence says 'the LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place,' it is your awareness declaring a misalignment: you have supposed yourself separate from the I AM and therefore invited fear, doubt, or self-will to govern your days. The clause 'now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said' points to a law of consciousness: what you persist in believing will manifest as your experience. The remedy is not to fight the outer event but to reoccupy the inner throne by imagining you already obey the inner voice. By the act of assumption, by feeling-it-real that you are in alignment with the divine directive, you dissolve the sense of punishment and restore harmony. When you inhabit that obedient state, the outward scene shifts to reflect the new inner order.
Practice This Now
Assume the consciousness of the I AM now, feeling complete obedience to the inner voice. Revise the perceived evil as a misperception dissolving in this new state, and let that state reshape your outer experience.
