The Inner Valley Of Slaughter
Jeremiah 7:32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 7:32 speaks of a coming time when Tophet and the valley of the son of Hinnom are renamed the valley of slaughter. It describes a burial of the old places until there is no space left.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's voice, the Tophet and the valley of Hinnom are not external places but inner dispositions, symbols of a worn-out belief and fear-based self-image. The prophecy announces a transitional moment when these names are replaced by the valley of slaughter—a radical inner clearing in which old patterns are buried and made null. As you realize that your I AM is the source of awareness, the internal landscape shifts: judgment becomes insight, exile becomes return, and the space once filled by contraction opens to new life. The days come when the old forms dissolve, and your consciousness can re-name them as stepping stones toward wholeness. This is not doom but invitation: the interior furnace burning away attachment reveals the freedom of presence and the promise of renewal within.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and revise, the valley of Tophet is now the valley of slaughter; the old self is buried, and there is room for new life. Then rest in the felt sense of I AM for a few breaths.
