Inner Balm for Jeremiah 8:19-22
Jeremiah 8:19-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah voices a lament for spiritual distress and questions whether God is present among His people. He vents hurt and longs for restoration, lamenting healing as if it is lost.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your cry, daughter of my people, is not a complaint about distant lands but a whisper from your own consciousness when it forgets its source. The verses ask, Is the LORD in Zion? Is not her king within her? These questions mirror the ego’s habit of seeking security in images and vanities, promising healing only in future rounds of effort. The harvest has passed and the summer is ended because you have identified with outer conditions and time rather than the timeless I AM that you are. God’s hurt is your own self-concern, a mirror of your own thought-shocks about separation. But balm in Gilead, and the physician there, are within you as awareness. When you stop projecting health to some external agent and instead inhabit the inner physician—your own consciousness—you discover that health returns not by waiting but by realizing you are the source of healing. The astonishment you feel is the opening of a new state. Repeat this: I am health; I am salvation; I am the healer within, and the daughter’s health recovers as I dwell in I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In stillness, assume the feeling of wellness now and declare, 'I am health; I am the balm within.' Picture the inner physician attending to you, restoring vitality from the I AM.
