Inner Refuge of Jeremiah 48:6

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, this verse invites a radical shift of consciousness: flee the outward scene by turning attention inward to the I AM, the steadfast awareness within. The call to be like the heath in the wilderness is a symbol of a state that endures without dependance on external shelter. Salvation, then, is not a physical flight but a revision of consciousness—an inner sanctuary where the self assumes safety and freedom here, now. By imagining oneself already safe and free, one aligns with the Life that animates all, and the outer circumstances must harmonize with that inner state. Your true refuge is the I AM, the unshakable feeling of being alive and intact regardless of appearances. This reading asks you to practice living from the end: feel the security in your chest, sense the ground of your being, and let the wilderness become the fertile ground of your inner reality where life flows unimpeded.
