Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 9:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 9 in context

Scripture Focus

10For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

Jeremiah 9:10

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 9:10 describes mountains weeping and wilderness burned, with no passage through. It is a lament over desolation and lost vitality.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, the mountains and wilderness are not fixed places but states of consciousness. The weeping and lamentation describe the inner weather when a belief has burned through a part of your psyche, closing the passage you once took for granted. You hear the no-passage as a moment when your awareness identifies with limitation and says, This cannot be moved. Yet the I AM within you remains untouched, always the traveler who can redraw the map. To reinterpret this verse is to understand that nothing outside can truly bind you unless you consent to it in imagination. So, imagine the desolate landscape as a former thought you are ready to revise. In your imagination, declare a new scenario: a clear path through the mountains, a living, breathing wilderness renewed by life, and the cattle's voice returning as your desires speak in return. Abide in the conviction that you, the I AM, are the only governor of the dream. As you feel it real, you dissolve the old scene and awaken to the open way that has always existed within you.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner landscape is already open: I am the passage through which all moves. Feel the open air of passage filling your chest until the mountains no longer block your way.
