Inner Covenant and Its Consequences

Neville's Inner Vision

In Hosea, the language speaks to your inner state. 'They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant' points to the self-deceptive promises you entertain when you align with fear or lack. The 'covenant' is not a courtroom contract but your daily agreement with an imagined self. When you utter a false oath—'I will be this later, after I achieve that'—you plant seeds in the furrows of your inner field. Judgment is not coming from someone else; it arises as a natural blooming of that misalignment, a hemlock sprouting where the soil has been betrayed. In Neville's method, consciousness is causative: you are not at the mercy of circumstance but are the I AM, aware of the state you hold. To reverse this, you must revise the inner state: assume a true covenant now—truth, abundance, wholeness—and feel it as real. When the soil is nourished by conviction rather than deception, the poisonous growth withers and a new harvest appears.
