The Refiner Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Malachi's vision speaks not of distant events but of your inner state. The 'messenger' is the active awareness that clears the ground of your mind, making room for the Lord you seek to enter as I AM. When you inhabit this sense of self, the coming of the Lord becomes a present moment—an inward visitation that purifies rather than punishes. The refiner's fire and fuller's soap symbolize the soft, exacting work of cleansing belief, habit, and motive until your 'sons of Levi'—your inner priesthood—are purified so that your offerings arise in righteousness as natural expression of your true nature. The question 'Who may abide the day of his coming?' invites you to release resistance and claim your unity with the divine presence. The process is not external effort but a shift in consciousness: assume the state of being already refined and let that conviction temper every thought, feeling, and choice until life itself becomes a pure offering.
