Inner Mourning Manifesto
Jeremiah 9:17-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 9:17-19 calls for mourners to lament Zion’s spoilage and exile, admitting the shame of turning away from the land. It frames our inner state as the true land we forsake and must return to through awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the Neville Goddard voice: In this text, the people are states of consciousness. Zion is your awareness, the land is your inner kingdom, and the wailing is the honest emotion that arises when you notice a misalignment between what you are imagining and what you are experiencing. The call to mourning women and cunning women is a call to attend to your inner atmosphere—to invite the feelings that mourn what is spoiled and to invite the wise elements of your imagination to come and assist in revision. The spoken verdict, 'How are we spoiled!' is your cue that you have allowed your dwelling-place to drift from the truth you intend. Exile and seeming defeat are not fates outside you, but movements of your inner state that can be reversed by deciding, in consciousness, that you are now in the promised land. The wailing is not tragedy but a signal that you are awake to the gap between current appearances and your desired actuality. When you acknowledge this, you awaken the power to choose a new image and to feel it as real.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume you are already dwelling in Zion; revise any belief of exile by speaking 'I am in my promised land now,' and feel the emotion of return as if it is real.
