Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 5:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

7How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.

8They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.

Jeremiah 5:7-8

Biblical Context

The verse laments spiritual infidelity and idolatry, showing people turning from the true God to hollow gods. It paints the mind as well-fed horses chasing imagined pleasures.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah's lament is a mirror for your inner life. The 'children' who forsake me are the states of consciousness you cultivate when you yield to imagined gods—desire, opinion, fear. The 'harlots' houses' are the crowded chambers of attention where restless images gather. When you feed these images, your mind becomes like a well-fed horse that neighed after another's wife, chasing external pleasures instead of the I AM within. Yet the message is not judgment but invitation: return your thoughts to the one who never leaves you, your true Self. The pardon you seek is not a future decree but a present shift in awareness. By choosing a revision that you are already forgiven and restored, you align with the truth that forgiveness is a state of consciousness, not an event. See yourself as the I AM-present, untouched by old chases, and let the feeling of reconciliation rise as your inner state. Practically, you can begin now: close your eyes, assume the feeling of being wholly pardoned and connected to the I AM, and declare, 'I am restored; I am one with God.' The outer world will reflect this inner alignment as you persist in the new state.
