I Am Always Present

Neville's Inner Vision

On the screen of Hosea, the phrase 'I will bereave them' is not a threat to external flesh alone, but a clause in the drama of a mind that believes itself separate from the I AM. The outward event of 'not a man left' translates in the inner world to the moment when a man ceases to identify with the living Presence, the I AM, and therefore sees no life, no births, no future within his thought. The 'they' who bring up their children are simply states of consciousness that claim ownership of life through outward production. When I depart from them—when the sense of separation is entertained—the inner spring dries up and so the appearances vanish. The remedy in this script is not to fear or resist but to reverse the assumption: I am the I AM; I dwell where Life exists; there is no departure from me, for I and the Father are one. In that pivot, the 'offspring'—the ideas, opportunities, and relations—return as the felt presence of life.
