Whispers of Inner Wisdom
Jeremiah 8:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 8:9 proclaims that the wise are ashamed because they rejected the LORD's word. True wisdom emerges when consciousness aligns with the inner Word rather than external cleverness.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the wise men in Jeremiah are not men at all but states of mind clinging to outward signs while the word of God—awareness personified as I AM—is ignored. When you say, 'they have rejected the word,' you are reading your own resistance to the inner voice that governs all reality. The verse invites us to test where our 'wisdom' resides: is it clever speculation or the quiet, authoritative word within? The I AM does not contest; it reveals. In this inner courtroom, judgment of others becomes judgment of your own choices: discrediting sages is the fate of any thought that refuses to align with the divine Word. Real wisdom is not a clever philosophy but a living recognition that your imagination, your inner word, is the instrument through which events are formed. When you accept the Word within as your sole guide, you no longer need external validation. Imagination created your world; return it to its rightful author, and revelation follows as naturally as dawn.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the Word within is awake in you now. Say softly, 'I am the Word in me now,' and revise any external counsel to align with this inner I AM.
