Inner Knowledge, Divine Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Here Hosea records a people who cry out, 'My God, we know thee,' as if knowledge were a memory of the past, separable from the living now. In Neville’s order of things, God is not a distant figure but the I AM that you are in this very moment. The cry of Israel is a state of consciousness that believes it already knows God while acting as if God remains outside its experience. The verse invites you to notice that true worship is not assent to a creed but a revision of the inner sense: you shift from knowing God as theory to living God as the one continuous awareness that you are. The demand of the text is not obedience to rules but the alignment of your inner disposition with the fact of presence. When you imagine the I AM as your own being, the imagined voice of 'My God' becomes the I within you—active, intimate, and immediate. Your world then follows the new inner conviction, not the old petition.
