Inner Authority and Angels
1 Corinthians 11:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul's verse points to a sign of authority for the woman, connected to angels and a sacred order. In Neville's reading, this speaks to the inner posture of dignity and obedience in consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of 'head' as the throne of your inner ruling idea—the consciousness that commands your life. The phrase 'because of the angels' is not about external emissaries but about the presence of order, guidance, and reverent attention that angels symbolize in you. If you, woman or man, imagine yourself as crowned with power, you are not bending to men's gaze but waking to your natural dignity as Imago Dei, watched over by the inner guards of divine memory. In Neville's terms, obedience is alignment of your current state with a higher ideal. When you acknowledge this inner authority, you release fear, and your surroundings reflect the quality of your consciousness. The body's display becomes a testimonial of the mind's sovereignty—the order you allow or deny in your inner world determines outward harmony. So the 'angelic' witness is your own awakened I AM, confirming your right to rule your inner realm with holiness and separation from lower claims.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and repeat: I am the I AM; I am crowned with power by the angels of my inner order. Feel that authority settling into your head as a calm, holy presence for 3-5 minutes.
