The Wild Ass Of Dependence

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, the wild ass is not a creature of community but of solitary impulse, moving where appetite pleases. When Ephraim hires lovers, it is a man or nation imagining that protection comes from alliances—money, treaties, or idols—rather than from the I AM within. The text does not speak of geography alone; it reveals a condition of consciousness that believes itself separate from God and thus seeks support in outer powers. You may be saying: 'I must secure my future with this plan or that opinion,' yet you are simply negotiating with appearances. The moment you entertain such a reliance, you mirror Ephraim, and your inner kingdom loosens its hold on reality. The call is to reverse the assumption: the only cause is the I AM, and every alliance is but a projection of your inner state. Return your attention to that inner reality, assume the feeling of inviolable security within, and let the outworking world follow from the restored unity.
