Inner Justice in Jeremiah

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah is not a history of a place, but a map of your inner state. To amend your ways is to revise the habitual images you entertain about yourself and others. When you truly resolve to execute judgment between a man and his neighbor, you are learning to discriminate between thought-forms that belong to your higher I AM and those born of fear. The stranger you must not oppress is the unknown part of you that has wanted acceptance; the fatherless and widow are the parts needing nourishment and energy—your creativity, your courage, your vitality. Walking after other gods is following borrowed beliefs instead of the living I AM within; it is worshiping images rather than reality. As you align your inner laws with justice and mercy, your external world follows the inner alignment, since all relationships are reflections of your states. The command becomes a mode of inner discipline, a spiritual practice that quietly reshapes consciousness from fear to love, from separation to unity.
