Whispers From Inner Zion
Jeremiah 9:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse voices a wail from Zion, signaling spoilage and confusion tied to forsaking the land. It links exile and outward trouble to an inner neglect of one's true dwelling.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this line, the wailing you hear is not a distant city’s lament but the echo of your own consciousness protesting a forsaking of the land within. Zion stands for your steady awareness, the inner territory you inhabit as the I AM. When you feel spoiled and confounded, you are simply living as if you have left that land, allowing appearances to cast you out. Exile and return are but the drama your imagination plays — and you can decide the ending by a change of state. The remedy is not to seek beyond but to return to the original vision: realize that the dwellings of thought and circumstance are only thoughts, and you are the ruler of the inner city. Hold the conviction: I AM here; I dwell in Zion; my land is intact because I am the awareness that makes the land. By assuming this state and feeling it real, you revise the memory of exile, and the external wail dissolves into quiet assurance as your inner terrain is restored.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume 'I AM awake in Zion now.' Feel the inner land returning as you breathe; let the wail dissolve into quiet certainty.
