Inner Moab Drunken Pride
Jeremiah 48:26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 48 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse warns that pride opposed to the Lord ends in humiliation and derision. It uses drunken imagery to describe the inner consequence of egoic exaltation.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the city Moab as a symbol inside your own mind—the ego intoxicated by itself. When you magnify the sense of 'I' above the LORD within, you become the one who is drunk on pride, and life’s inner mirrors begin to deride that separateness. The verse shows the natural consequence: the proud mind is emptied of its royal pretensions and finds itself wallowing in a wasteful substitute for real strength. Yet this is not a curse from without, but a correction within: the I AM remains unchanged, and every gust of ego-courting thought dissolves when you choose a different state of being. Rehearse a new assumption: that you are one with the LORD, that there is nothing to prove and nothing to fear, and feel that unity as if it were your most certain reality. In that felt sense, the imagined 'vomit' of self-importance loses its grip and derision drops away, leaving a clear, single awareness of God as I AM in you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare 'I am the I AM' and feel the ego’s grip loosen as you revise your self-view to unity with God, sensing the new reality in your chest.
