The Desolate Place Within
Jeremiah 51:62 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 51 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The LORD pronounces judgment on the place, that it be cut off with none remaining, and it will be desolate forever.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the awakened I AM, Jeremiah 51:62 is not a threat but a reflection of your inner state. The words 'to cut it off' describe a belief that a part of you has been severed from life, a mental architecture that makes your inner city desolate. Yet the I AM cannot be touched by such decrees. The decree only governs a worn pattern of consciousness; you can revoke it by returning your attention to the life you intend to live inwardly. In imagination, begin with the end in mind: see the city of your mind alive again—people and possibilities touring its streets, vitality circulating through every chamber, beasts of fear and lack reimagined as loyal inhabitants of growth. When desolation arises, do not argue with it; simply, assume the opposite. Breathing into that certainty, let your inner witness declare, 'This place is restored by the power of I AM.' Persist in that revision, and notice how your outer circumstances align with the new inner state, gently, as the image holds.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, and affirm, 'I am the I AM; this inner place is alive and restored.' Then revise the decree by dwelling in the end: 'This city within is thriving now; all life returns.'
