Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 7:25-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

25Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

26Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

Jeremiah 7:25-26

Biblical Context

From the day the Israelites left Egypt to the present, God sent prophets daily, but the people did not listen or yield; they resisted and became more stubborn than their ancestors.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this Jeremiah passage, the 'fathers' symbolize fixed states of consciousness, while the prophets are the living urges of imagination—the inner calls that awaken a higher self. To 'hearken' is to listen with the I AM, to align thought and feeling with divine intention. When the people 'hardened their neck' and ignored the voice, they refused the ongoing invitation to revise their state and live in covenant with awareness. Neville teaches that God is not a distant judge but the I AM within, and every prophetic nudge is a signal from that awareness to re-create one’s life. The law remains constant: neglect the inner guidance, and you perpetuate limitation; heed it, and you rise into a new consciousness. The 'punishment' is simply the natural consequence of resisting the truth you already know. The healing is immediate: return your attention to the inner voice, imagine the fulfilled state, and walk there by faith until it feels real, establishing loyalty to the inner covenant of awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the inner prophets are speaking now; feel yourself listening and acting on their guidance, and revise your state to the sense of being guided by I AM for five minutes daily.
