Jeremiah 5:21 Inner Vision

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah's rebuke is not about others far away; it is a mirror of my own consciousness. The 'foolish people' with eyes that see not and ears that hear not are the habitual states of mind that ignore truth while clinging to appearances. The inner blindness arises whenever I identify with lack, limitation, or confusion, instead of the I AM that knows all. In Neville's language, the kingdom is imagined first, then experienced; therefore, the verse invites me to revise the inner state until discernment becomes my natural condition. By assuming the truth that I already perceive with right understanding, I outgrow the belief that reality is outside me and separate from my awareness. Imagination is not a trick but the instrument by which I awaken the inner sight and hearing; as I dwell in the feeling of 'I see clearly now' and 'I understand rightly,' the outer scenes realign to reflect this new consciousness. The judgment spoken by the text becomes a gentle invitation to awaken, not a punitive verdict, guiding me toward a faithful, awakened life.
