Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 6:16-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

16Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

17Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

Jeremiah 6:16-17

Biblical Context

The passage invites you to stand in the right road, seek the tried and true path, walk it, and find rest for your soul; yet many resist and refuse the inner prompting.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah's warning becomes a map for consciousness. The old paths are not roads but habitual states of feeling and belief you carry in awareness. When you stand and listen, you ask what state of mind feels like rest, and you move toward the good way by aligning your imagination, emotion, and actions with that state. The walk therein is the decision to live as the I AM—the witness who knows it is all formed within. The watchmen are your inner faculties—intuition, conscience, imagination—sounding the trumpet of guidance. To hearken is to revise until resistance dissolves and inner harmony becomes your experienced world. The trumpet calls you to rest, not punishment; the true prophecy here is a practical invitation: choose the state you desire, and the outer becomes the outward declaration of your inward dream. When you dwell in the good way, you awaken the kingdom within and your life aligns to reflect that inner rest.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are already standing in the good path. Feel the rest saturate your being and declare, I am in the rest of my soul now.
