Hope-Forged Purity: 1 John 3:3

Neville's Inner Vision

Ask yourself: what is this 'hope'? In Neville's language, hope is a living state of consciousness—an inner conviction that your true self is already pure. When you entertain this hope, you are effectively aligning your inner I AM with the realm of purity. The verse does not command external reform first; it describes an inner modification: by dwelling in the assumption of purity, you purify yourself. Purity becomes not a moral tally but an inner atmosphere, a feeling-tone you inhabit until it feels natural to you. The self you think you are—with its fears, judgments, and habits—yields to the greater self you awaken when you acknowledge that you are pure in essence. Just as Christ-like purity is stated as his reality, your acceptance of that reality becomes your state. In practice, nothing changes in the outer world until you 'see' it with your inner sight. So, cultivate the feeling of being clean, keep the vision of your pure nature in front of you, and live from that consciousness.
