Inner Mercy Of Hosea 11:8

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Hosea 11:8 you glimpse the I AM speaking as a heart that cannot abandon its own image. The names Ephraim and Israel are your states of consciousness—ways you identify with separation—while Admah and Zeboim illustrate the feared endings your mind would impose. Yet the turning heart and the kindling repentance are the inner movements of a higher self, revising your sense of self into mercy. This is not guilt but a compassionate rearrangement of your inner picture; when you feel the question of obligation, you are merely witnessing the moment when a deeper awareness chooses harmony. If you assume you are already the state you seek, your inner God will translate that assumption into living conditions. The verse invites you to let the inner I AM choose mercy over judgment, turning toward a fuller use of life. Your task is to hold the intention and feel it as real until it becomes your ordinary experience.
