The Inner Alarm Sounding
Hosea 5:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hosea 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse issues a warning by sounding alarms—cornets and trumpets—calling attention to a turning point. It frames this as a spiritual wake-up, urging accountability within the heart.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Hosea’s cornet and trumpet as the signs of your own inner center sounding. Gibeah, Ramah, Bethaven, Benjamin are not places on a map but states of mind you carry inside. When the alarm is blown, it is your awareness waking you to the fact that you have been governed by thoughts and images you mistake for reality. The house of vanity (Bethaven) points to a belief you have mistaken for life—an idolized story about yourself. The cry after thee signals that the movement of consciousness follows the attention you give to your thoughts; where your attention goes, your life flows. In Neville’s terms, God is the I AM within, the constant awareness that remains unchanged as you revise your state. Use this moment to assume a new premise: that you are already the living awareness of truth, that harmony, abundance, and peace are your natural condition. Feel it as real now, allow the sounds to dissolve into the stillness of your own unaltered I AM, and notice your outer circumstances shift in alignment with that inner decree.
Practice This Now
Practice: sit quietly and hear an inner cornet sound; then revise your state by affirming I AM that I AM and feel the reality of your wholeness now.
