Before the I AM's Face

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Hosea 7:2 as a map of the inner world. When it says I remember all their wickedness, read it as the I AM aware of the states you harbor. The memory of sin is not some external ledger; it is a movement of consciousness you allow to linger. Their doings beset them about because you have identified with a story about yourself and keep replaying it. The 'face' before my face is the perceiver, your own awareness, proving that nothing is outside the realm of your inner states. If you feel condemned, you are simply insisting on a memory; if you consent to a higher memory, you rewrite the scene. The practice is gentle: remain in the feeling that the I AM remembers only the good you are becoming, and let the old image fade as you dwell in that shift of attention. Your life will mirror this inner revision, and what seemed fixed will fall away as you inhabit the new state of consciousness.
