Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 8:2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 8 in context

Scripture Focus

2And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

Jeremiah 8:2

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 8:2 condemns worship of the sun, moon, and heavenly hosts. It warns that such devotion will not be gathered or buried, but will lie exposed on the earth.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Jeremiah 8:2, you learn that worship of outer powers is a misalignment of your inner consciousness. The sun, moon, and host of heaven are symbols—states of attention you grant to something apart from your I AM. When you spread your devotion before these symbols, you scatter your sense of self and your life remains uncollected, not drawn into the whole of you. The I AM is the only Reality; imagination is the instrument by which you rearrange your inner weather. The judgment in the verse is not punishment coming from without; it is your own misalignment revealing where you have given power away from your central awareness. If you revise your worship to center on the I AM within, outward signs lose their authority, and you are gathered into unity, your experiences no longer governed by hollow idols. Ask yourself what in you venerates outward signs: power, success, romance, or status. When you answer by turning the attention inward, reality begins to rearrange itself around your conscious presence, and the old worship is laid to rest in the earth of your new inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise your inner image by declaring I AM the center of all you are. Feel the sense of inner gathering as the outer suns fade and dissolve into the earth.
