Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 5:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

1Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

2And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.

3O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

Jeremiah 5:1-3

Biblical Context

Jeremiah calls the city to search the streets for a just man who seeks truth; none is found. People swear falsely and refuse correction, hardening their faces and refusing to return.

Neville's Inner Vision

Where Jeremiah sees streets and crowds, I see states of consciousness moving within you. The call to run to and fro, to seek truth in the broad places, is an invitation to examine the inner dialogues that rule your life. If you can find a single inner state that executes judgment justly and seeks truth, then the door to pardon swings open, for God’s eyes rest on the truth within you. When the world around you swears by names and creeds, it is only your attention that swears falsely; it is your attention that must be turned. The truth is not outside you, but the very I AM by which you awaken. You have consumed and corrected, yet many inner voices resist, flinch, and harden; this is your resistance to return to your true self. The moment you recognize one honest, truthful state within—no matter how small—you align with divine correction and your own forgiveness arises. To be faithful to truth is to accept whom you truly are: the I AM, the living truth within you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, walk the mental streets, and ask, 'Where is the truth in me that judges righteously?' Then assume a truth-state and silently declare, 'I am that truth; I am pardoned by the I AM because I walk in truth,' and feel it real as it guides your next hour.
