Read Jeremiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

28They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

29The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.

Jeremiah 6:28-29

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 6:28-29 speaks of a people who are grievously revolting and corrupt, whose metal-like imagery signals hard, unyielding beliefs at work within; judgment exposes them as inner movements.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Jeremiah's image, see that those revolters are not persons in space, but states of consciousness—brass and iron thoughts that appear formidable yet are only illusions of self-hood. The fire and melting lead picture the moment your attention is fixed on a belief; the bellows burn and the founder labors in vain when you keep clinging to that identity. In Neville's terms, the wicked are not plucked away by punishment; they dissolve when you hold a new version of yourself as your only reality: 'I AM that I AM,' or 'I am harmony now.' You do not fight the old forms; you out-create them by assuming a state that contradicts them, feeling it as real. The inner blacksmith is your consciousness; it refines what you accept as true until the true self stands clear, uncorrupted, and free. This passage invites you to let judgment reveal inner attitudes, then revise from the I AM, until the inner furnace reveals the pure metal of your divine nature.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, assume the state 'I AM' as the furnace of awareness, and declare: 'This belief is melted by my consciousness; I am whole now.' Visualize brass and iron beliefs dissolving, molten lead flowing away, while you anchor in the felt reality of the new state.
