Jeremiah 18:2 Meaning Arise

The potter is your own imagination, and the potter's house is your own inner being, the wheel of thought where every state is shaped. To go down to that house is to turn attention inward, to the place where the self is actually made. The clay is you, the self-concept, and it can be reworked when it comes out spoiled, pressed back into a better form by the same hands that shaped it before.

Hearing the words happens there and nowhere else. What you assume about yourself on that wheel is what you are creating, so a person is never stuck with the shape others have described or the shape a bad day left behind. The image held within is the mold the outer life pours into. A spoiled state is not thrown away. It is worked again, quietly, until it takes the form you choose, and the life around you slowly hardens into that new shape.
