Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 5:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

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 5:3

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 5:3 shows a people who see truth and experience correction but refuse to be moved, hardening their faces and turning away from return.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's fashion, the verse becomes a mirror of your inner state. Truth is not a distant judgment but the awakening awareness you call the I AM. The strikings and consumings are life events that try to move you, yet the inner disposition remains rigid, the face set like rock, the return to truth refusing to be welcomed. This is not punishment but a fixed identity—an assumption about who you are that resists correction. The remedy is simple and radical: assume a new state now. Allow correction to enter as gentle fire that softens the defense, revise your narrative, and feel it real until you rise into the consciousness that correction is the door back to your original I AM. When you entertain this, the external conditions begin to loosen, for you have shifted the inner traffic from rebellion to receptivity and return.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and in the silence repeat, I am teachable; I return to the truth within me. Then breathe in the sense of correction flowing through you, imagining your hardened inner face becoming soft and your life aligning with the I AM here and now.
