Besieged Mind, Inner Year
Jeremiah 52:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 52 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. It signals a prolonged judgment and accountability playing out in time.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's teaching, the 'city' is your state of consciousness and the siege is a stubborn habit of thought. The eleventh year signals how long you have held a limiting belief; Zedekiah represents the part of you that governs what you allow into awareness. The walls and battering symbolize fixed conditions of fear, doubt, and resistance masquerading as fate. But the I AM—the inner ruler—never abandons the throne; you can revise by aligning with a new assumption. When you imagine the inner city free and the siege lifted, you awaken the truth that outer events reflect inner states, not the other way around. By choosing a present tense of wholeness and feeling it real, you dissolve the long siege and invite return to your true realm. The inner exile gives way to a conscious return, not by history, but by your awakening to the I AM here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Assume the inner city is free now; feel the walls fall away and the eleventh year end. Repeat 'I AM' and 'I am whole' until the sense of peace sits in your bones.
