The Day of the LORD Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Joel’s stark line lies an invitation to consciousness. The 'day of the LORD' is not a distant catastrophe but a present shift in awareness. When you hear 'at hand,' understand that the Kingdom is closer than your next breath; it is the illumination that your I AM is present and governing you now. The 'destruction from the Almighty' is the purifying fire by which you shed the old self, the belief in lack, separation, and time. Fear is the weathered shield you have mistaken for reality; when you realize you are the I AM, the shield dissolves, and with it the sense of being overpowered by external force. The Almighty is not external to you but the living consciousness that you are. As you hold that you are the one presence, your inner world reorganizes to reflect this truth, and the outer events will follow the renewed state. The day does not arrive; it is the moment your attention recognizes the truth that you are one with God, and that realization patiently dissolves limitation.
