Return to the Inner Face Within

Neville's Inner Vision

On Hosea 5:15, God’s withdrawal is not punishment but a psychic invitation. The 'place' is the quiet balance of I AM, the center of your awareness. When you presume outward results, you lose sight of the inner kingdom; thus the I AM withdraws, until the heart admits its offense—its mistaken belief in separation—and turns its gaze back to the face of God within. Affliction, from Neville's stance, is the stern but gentle tutor that accelerates the turning. Your present world of stress reveals the exact state of your consciousness; by acknowledging the offense you fed the belief, you rise out of it by repentance of the mind, not action. The moment you stop chasing externals and say, 'I am the I AM here and now,' you open the door to restoration. In that instant, the inner face becomes your center of action, and every circumstance rearranges to reflect your renewed sense of being. Restoring is not an event outside you but a revision inside: you revise the story, feel the truth, and allow reality to align with the awakened I AM.
