The Inner Fall and Healing

Jeremiah 51:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 51 in context

Scripture Focus

8Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
Jeremiah 51:8-9

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 51:8-9 speaks of Babylon's sudden fall and the inability to heal her by external means. It declares that judgment ascends to heaven as the soul clings to a fixed, arrogant state.

Neville's Inner Vision

The text invites you to see Babylon as a symbol of a stubborn state of consciousness that has mistaken power for fleshly control. Its sudden fall reveals that healing cannot be found in outer remedies when the mind remains fixed in pride and separation. In Neville terms, the fall and the refusal to heal point to the inner law that real restoration arises only when awareness returns to I AM, the one true healer within. The message is not condemnation but a shifting of allegiance—from the ego’s rule to the sovereign presence of God as consciousness. When you accept that the judgment you perceive is a projection of your own inner state, you release the need to fix the outer scene. Revision becomes your doorway: imagine that this Babylon is already fallen and healed in your mind, and feel the reality of harmony returning to your inner land. As you persist in the assumption of wholeness, the outer circumstances align with that restored state, and the sense of exile dissolves into return.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: in a moment of stillness, revise the scene by affirming I AM healing now; Babylon is healed in consciousness and the judgment is over. Feel it real as you breathe.
