Inner Headship and Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scripture the 'head' is not a social command but the inner order of your states of consciousness. God is the I AM, the living awareness behind all you are. Christ is the awakened state of mind that looks to that I AM for direction. The 'head of every man is Christ' means your outer life follows the inner Christic perception; when you identify with Christ as the ruling awareness, your choices, feelings, and actions align with divine order. The 'head of the woman is the man' represents the dynamic within you between assertion and receptivity—each aspect yields to the higher principle within you, which is still the I AM acting through a ready mind. And 'the head of Christ is God' confirms that all movement in consciousness flows from the infinite source within. If you experience discord, remind yourself that the topmost level is God; your task is to revise your inner image so that your present awareness is governed by that divine head. Practice imagining the Christ-state as the driver of your life and let every moment reflect that order.
