Inner Covenant Return

Neville's Inner Vision

In Hosea, the voice of God speaks as the I AM addressing a consciousness that has wandered from its true state. The wife and children are not distant people but inner aspects—desires, loyalties, and outcomes—that have followed after substitutes. When you hear, “plead with your mother,” you’re being invited to revise your inner posture until the original covenant of awareness is the dominant mood. The threat to strip naked and set her in a wilderness is the dramatization of a mind split from its divine center, where nourishment dries up and thirst follows. Yet the story is not a condemnation but an invitation: notice the hedges, the thorns, the walls you have erected around your attention. The “lovers” are merely passing impressions. Return to the first husband—the constant, universal I AM that never forsakes you—and you restore the garden of your inner life. Your present circumstances reveal your current state of consciousness; revise that state and life itself follows the script of the regained covenant.
