Baldness of Self: Inner Judgment Reborn
Jeremiah 47:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 47 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Baldness here signals a ruin that begins in the inner state and works outward. The call 'how long wilt thou cut thyself?' invites a shift from self-punishment to self-awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take the symbol of Gaza and Ashkelon as your inner dispositions—bald where vitality should be, cut off where abundance should remain. In the inner courtroom of your consciousness, these judgments of ruin are not meteors striking from without, but currents of belief that you have permitted by identifying with lack, limitation, or separation from your true being. The prophet's cry, 'how long wilt thou cut thyself?' becomes the invitation to withdraw the violence of self-condemnation and to return to the I Am that you are. When you stop trimming away your divine life with thoughts of scarcity, fear, or unworthiness, you begin to feel a growth in vitality, a hairline of hope returning around your inner perimeter. Jeremiah's doom becomes a doorway into a sanctuary of renewal; the exile of the soul dissolves as you assume the living state of peace, justice, and abundance. The promise is not distant but present as your awareness shifts from the seen to the unseen I Am.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM—presence that heals every inner city within you; revise the feeling of lack by dwelling in fullness, and feel it real now.
