Image, Glory, and Inner Order

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the words describe a structure of inner perception: man represents the conscious self, the image and glory of God, while woman represents the image the conscious self bears forth in relation to others. The statement that the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man, and that the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man, point to an inner order: consciousness creates form to fulfill a definite purpose. The line about power on the head 'because of the angels' invites you to keep your inner posture aligned with higher laws, the angelic intelligences that accompany your thoughts; when you honor the original divine design in your mind—self as image of God and the life it bears—you allow unity, not domination, to emerge in your inner life. This is not about external rules, but about recognizing that your inner state orders your external world. When you rest in the I AM, you rest in the sacred arrangement of creation and permit your life to reflect the one image and glory you embody.
