Neville Goddard on Hosea 11:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hosea 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

Hosea 11:1

Biblical Context

The verse depicts God's loving fatherly call to Israel as a child. It frames the exodus from Egypt as an inner movement from bondage to sonship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Israel represents your current state of consciousness, childlike and open; Egypt embodies the habitual dream of limitation. The line 'I loved him' is the I AM affirming the beloved nature of that state, and the exodus is an inner movement from bondage to freedom. When you live as the I AM—the true you—this exodus occurs within, and you awaken to your sonship here and now. By assuming the truth of your divine identity and feeling it as real, you call your inner 'son' out of bondage and into the light of awareness. The practice is simple: replace every lack with the felt presence of liberty until it is your default reality.
