Inner Exile and the I AM Awakening
Jeremiah 52:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 52 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Zedekiah's eyes were put out; he was bound in chains, carried to Babylon, and imprisoned until the day of his death. It is a stark record of punishment and confinement within the narrative.
Neville's Inner Vision
All scripture is your inner life; when you read about Zedekiah's eyes being put out and the king carried to Babylon, hear it as a flash of your own consciousness. The throne room becomes a mental state, and Babylon is a dream-state of separation from the I AM. Exile represents drifting from awareness; the prison is a habit of belief you repeat until the old pattern dies. Yet the map of the text reveals a law: movement from exile to return is possible the moment you assume a different state. In Neville’s language, you are not a victim of fate but the author of fate; the 'eyes' symbolize your awareness or lack thereof, and their restoration signals a shift in inner sight. If you insist that you are the I AM now, you can dissolve the chains and step into a renewed kingdom within you. The inner scene is the seed of outer change; tend to the feeling of being restored and let that feeling rewrite the story.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene by affirming, 'I AM the king of this inner land; my eyes are restored, the chains fall away, and I return to my true city within.'
