Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 9:19-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 9 in context

Scripture Focus

19For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

20Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

Jeremiah 9:19-20

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 9:19-20 speaks of a Zion lament about exile, followed by a call to hear the LORD's word and teach lament. The passage points to an inner shift in consciousness, inviting a return to one's true land.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Zion is not a place on a map but a state of awareness. The voice of wailing that rises from Zion is the pulse of a consciousness that has forsaken its land—the inner territory where the I AM dwells. When you feel 'spoiled' and 'confounded,' you are experiencing a dis-alignment between what you claim and what you assume. The verse bids you hear the word of the LORD—not as history, but as the living thought within you that names your state. To teach your daughters wailing is to pass the message of longing through the feminine current of receptivity, turning the movement of lament into a conscious invitation to return home. The act of listening becomes revision: you do not fight the wail, you acknowledge it and invite a new assumption to occupy the mind. In practice, acknowledge you are exiled from your own land only so you may invite the inner Land to awaken, and let the inner word (I AM) declare your restoration as already accomplished in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are already in the Land and listening to the LORD within. For five minutes, repeat: I AM THAT I AM within me is whole, and feel the inner land awakening as real.
