Inner Worship Refined
Jeremiah 6:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 6:20 asks us to see that outward incense and distant offerings fail to please when the heart is not aligned. True worship, in this view, is inner obedience and fidelity, not ritual alone.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah is not asking for more smoke and distant spices; he is directing you to attend to the state of your own consciousness. Incense from Sheba and cane from a far country are symbols of rites carried without inner alignment. In the Neville reading, the altar is within you: God seeks a heart in touch with the I AM, a mind that will not barter inner peace for outward ceremony. When you imagine yourself as only the body and your daily duties, your offerings feel hollow because your inner state is not in agreement with truth. The rejection is a mercy: revise your sense of self to the fact that you are the I AM. Then every thought, feeling, and act becomes a true sacrifice—an offering of awareness. Your faithfulness is measured not by externals but by the steadiness of inner trust, by the conviction that you already possess what you seek. External ritual fades as the inner certainty remains, and your life becomes a living worship aligned with the one source of consciousness within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the feeling that you worship in your own consciousness now. Visualize an inner temple and offer your attention as incense, declaring I AM and feeling it-real that this inner state is accepted.
