Inner Renewal of Olive Shadow

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that Hosea is not describing distant events but your inner state. The branches that shall spread are the expanding awareness of I AM within you; the olive beauty and Lebanon fragrance symbolize the refinement and harmony produced by living from that awareness. When you acknowledge the I AM as your shelter, you are not waiting for a change outside; you are becoming the change inside. Those who dwell under his shadow are those who rest in the shade of your own consciousness, where fear dissolves and vitality returns. They revive as corn and grow as the vine—your thoughts, energy, and conditions refreshed by one act of assumption. The wine of Lebanon is the aroma of your true being, a felt sense of abundance and peace. This is present experience, not distant hope, created by the act of imagining you are already there: the branch spreading, the fragrance rising, the shadow of God protecting and nourishing all that you are now.
