Inner Return and Liberation
Jeremiah 41:14-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 41 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Captives are returned to their leader while Ishmael slips away with eight men, marking a shift in the scene. The moment signals an inner reassessment—an exile and return playing out in real time.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the I AM standpoint, the events around Mizpah are not persons and places but states of consciousness. When the captives return to Johanan, you witness awareness regrouping itself to its true center; when Ishmael flees to the Ammonites, you glimpse a pattern of attachment loosening. In this reading, defeat or flight are inner movements, drafts of your imagination that you can revise. The appearance of deliverance arises not from outside rescue but from a decision to inhabit the I AM, to treat the current scene as a dream and alter it by belief. The eight men and the Ammonites symbolize lingering beliefs and old loyalties that you can release. Thus the story becomes a beacon: return to your inner Johanan, and let your consciousness dissolve the separation between captive and captor. Your liberation is the inner state you decide to dwell in, here and now.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM now and revise the scene: I am restored; all that was captive in me returns to my consciousness. Feel it real by breathing into that state for a minute, and let the sense of deliverance settle into your body.
