Healing in Hosea: Inner Seeing

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that healing in Hosea is not a distant event but a state of consciousness you awaken to in this moment. When the text says, I would have healed Israel, the inner 'iniquity' and the 'wickedness' of Ephraim and Samaria symbolize stubborn beliefs within you that resist wholeness: falsehood, grasping for what damage-free imagination cannot supply, the thieves and robbers of peace. God does not punish you from outside; the memory of all your supposed wickedness stands within your mind as an image you keep before your own face. Your present life—the king and the princes—are outward functions of those inner narratives. To heal, you must refuse to identify with them. The remedy is a reversal: assume the healed state now; imagine the inner court cleansed, and the outer conditions reflecting that harmony. In that light, you remember rightly as God remembers—with discernment, not punishment. Your true self, the I AM, looks upon the pictures of lack and deceit and dissolves them with quiet presence. The outer world then follows, expressing the unity you have already established in consciousness.
