Inner Covering and Authority
1 Corinthians 11:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul links prayer and prophecy to inner order: men should have their heads covered, and women should cover theirs, so worship honors the divine head. The verses frame worship as a matter of purity and respect for sacred authority.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read as a map of inner posture, this text places the head where consciousness itself takes authority—the Source within, the I AM. To cover the head in prayer or prophecy is to acknowledge that Source over the drift of personal desire. When you act from ego, wearing no inner cover, your words carry less weight and your worship loses its transformative power; you dishonor the head you would honor, because you have forgotten who directs your imagination. The 'uncovered' state is not a matter of hair but of inner alignment; it signals that you are attempting to speak as yourself rather than as an instrument of Divine Mind. The remedy is deliberate inner cover: return to the awareness of the I AM and let that awareness govern your thoughts, your prayers, and your proclamations. When you inhabit the inner Head, your imagination becomes a channel for Creation rather than a stage for personality. True worship, therefore, is the practice of maintaining that reverent alignment in every moment, letting the I AM govern what you say and do.
Practice This Now
In your next prayer, assume the state of I AM as your head and visualize a mantle of light covering your crown; feel Divine Mind directing your words.
