Wilderness to Covenant Within

Neville's Inner Vision

All of Hosea’s scene unfolds inside your mind. The wilderness is your current condition of awareness where old attachments waver and fear looks for shelter. When the Lord says I will allure her and speak comfortably, he speaks to your I AM—the already-present sense of 'I am' within you. The vineyards and the valley of Achor become inner symbols: abundance growing from a changed perception, and a doorway opened by a new belief that life is not a captive story but a creative act of consciousness. The old names—Baalim—are the contested meanings you once wore, the false powers you believed controlled your fate. In truth, you call God Ishi, your husband, your intimate relation with the divine Presence that never left you. The command to remove the names out of her mouth is your inner revision: replace limitation-laden thoughts with the name of love and loyalty. Your singing returns when you perceive yourself as the youthful self who came out of bondage, now free by awakening to I AM. The whole scene is possible here and now as a revision of your inner weather.
