Inner Balm for a Wounded Soul
Jeremiah 8:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah laments the hurt of the people and wonders why healing is not present, asking where remedy or physician can be found. It frames healing as a missing balm, inviting the reader to see inward remedies.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the reader who hears these verses, the hurt is not a distant affliction but a state of consciousness you have accepted as real. The daughter of my people represents a facet of your inner self identified with pain, doubt, and limitation. When you cry, Is there no balm in Gilead, you are really asking your own I AM presence why you have forgotten that you are always complete in the moment of awareness. The 'physician' is not outside you; imagination is the inner physician who drafts remedies within your mind. Belief in lack persists only as long as you entertain separation from your healing power. Turn attention away from the ache and toward the I AM that never changes. Rehearse the assumption that you are well, feel that restoration, and let the inner movement dissolve the outward condition. Your true doctor is awareness itself, and health follows as you realize you are already healed.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume 'I AM healed now' and feel it real. Picture the balm entering your chest and renewing every cell.
