Hosea 9:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hosea 9 in context

Biblical Context
Hosea 9:6 describes a people scattered by destruction; Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them, and their prized places will become nettles with thorns in their tents.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the Neville reader, 'they' are not distant nations but states of consciousness. When destruction closes in, the mind runs to a worldly refuge—Egypt—an imagined shelter of security that gathers you to its banks and buries your truth. Memphis stands as the ritual of burial: old identifications, stories you 'die' into, not realizing you are always the I AM. The 'pleasant places for their silver' become nettles—your treasured pursuits become irritants when the consciousness is aligned with fear and lack. The thorns in their tabernacles are the inconveniences of a life built on flimsy protection rather than inner awareness. The remedy is to awaken to the truth that you are the I AM, the ever-present refuge. By assuming the state of awakened man, you revise the entire scenario—exile becomes return, destruction dissolves into new life, and the inner land becomes a place of peace where thorns cannot thrive.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the I AM is your only refuge; revise any claim of lack by affirming, 'I am in the promised land now.' Then feel the return as you breathe.
