Inner Judgment, Inner Alignment

Jeremiah 8:6-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 8 in context

Scripture Focus

6I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
7Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
Jeremiah 8:6-9

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 8:6–9 warns that people hear the truth yet do not repent. They rush into their own courses, ignoring the LORD's judgment and boasting of wisdom that never truly guides them.

Neville's Inner Vision

To hear without turning is the sign of a mind misaligned with its own I AM. The people speak of wisdom and the law as if they stood outside themselves, yet the inner judge is awake and has seen through their scribes. The horse of habit charges toward battle while inner discernment sleeps; they mistake external routine for the judgment of the LORD. In Neville's language, this is a state of consciousness that has confined the divine into a letter, rather than a living principle inside. The birds—stork, turtle, crane, swallow—keep their appointed times, but your inner clock of repentance and alignment also keeps time, if you would but listen. The inner voice asks not what others have done, but what you have assumed about yourself. When you insist the law is within you while never revising your feeling, you render wisdom vain. The truth is simple: God is your awareness, and judgment is the moment you choose to align with that awareness. When you realize the 'word' is alive within and not merely in writing, you awaken from fear into clarity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the state that the LORD's judgment has already fallen as your inner calibration; feel your awareness settling into alignment and revise thoughts to reflect a single course with the divine.
