The Dove Without Heart Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner eye, Hosea reveals a state of consciousness that trembles for security and looks outward for solutions. Ephraim’s appeal to Egypt and passage to Assyria are not geopolitical plans but inner tactics of fear—a dove flitting from one external alliance to another, convinced that power lies beyond awareness. In Neville’s terms, the dove has forgotten the I AM, the steadfast awareness that is always present. The I AM is not a distant ally but the very center of perception; whenever you run to Egypt or Assyria, you are simply agreeing with the belief that you are separate from the whole. The remedy is not to renounce action but to revise the assumption: I am the I AM, I have all power within my own consciousness, and every apparent external circumstance is a projection to be reinterpreted. When you feel the impulse to run outside, delay, breathe, and feel the presence of the One, and imagine that the world bows to the sovereignty of your awareness. Then external conditions align to reflect your inner trust.
