Wilderness Knowing Hosea 13:5

Neville's Inner Vision

God, the I AM within you, does know you in the wilderness; there is no place where your essential Self is absent. The wilderness and drought are not punishments but states of consciousness that reveal what you believe about yourself. When Hosea says 'I did know thee,' he names the unalterable covenant of your inner life: you are seen by the Presence you already are. The moment you accept that you are already known, you awaken the steady, unchanging Life that underlies every moment. The drought then becomes a signal to revise your thinking, not a sign of divine absence. In this light, mercy and compassion spring from the knowing I AM toward the living you, turning suffering into a doorway of deeper realization. Your task is to dwell in that memory, to imagine and feel that you are known by God in every circumstance, until the sense of separation dissolves and your experience mirrors the truth of your unity with the divine.
