Calf Idolatry and Inner Innocence

Neville's Inner Vision

Your calf, O Samaria, is not a person but a fixed image you bow to—money, status, security—an external idol that keeps you from the living I AM within. Hosea’s words, spoken as God’s anger, are not vengeance but a wake-up call: when you cling to that calf you estranged yourself from the source of true innocency. The mind calls itself Samaria when it divides its worship, treating relationship, wealth, or reputation as the god of your life. Yet the I AM, your true Self, stands behind every symbol, longing to be recognized. The moment you stop praying to the idol and turn inward, you awaken to the one presence that never falters. The calf dissolves not by denial but by a deliberate inner alignment: you refuse to invest life in the image and instead bask in the realization that you are the I AM, the king and priest of your own consciousness. In that alignment, the apparent judgment births a compassionate correction: innocence returns and you walk in true worship, which is present awareness.
