Crown Of Consciousness Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard’s imagination-centered lens, the verses illuminate more than dress and ceremony; they reveal the inner posture of consciousness. The 'head' is your center of awareness, the seat from which you authorize meaning. When a man, in inner practice, embodies the gesture of prayer or prophecy, the 'covering' becomes a symbol for turning attention toward the Christ within, not a mere outward fashion. The woman’s expression in prayer or prophecy, with or without externals, asks: whose authority is shaping your inner state? Paul’s order points to a working unity: Christ within governs the governing principle, while the human self remains aware of interdependence in the Lord. In Neville’s terms, the image and glory correspond to the living idea you acknowledge as real. The ‘angels’ are the faculties and impulses that attend your chosen state; you possess power on your head by consenting to and embodying the state you desire. The solution lies in maintaining the one state of consciousness where the inner and outer align. Pray, revise, and dwell in that settled state until it becomes natural expression.
