Inner Order of Masculine and Feminine

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, this text is not a social decree but an inner map. 'Man' and 'woman' are states of consciousness within the I AM; the forces of masculine and feminine principle arise in awareness and serve the act of creation. The phrase 'the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man' points to origin and function in imagination: the masculine idea precedes form, and the feminine principle follows, formed to deliver the idea into experience. Creation is not a rank but a dance of consciousness, a way your awareness orders itself to realize a particular life. When you acknowledge that 'the woman for the man' carries the divine purpose of completing the masculine project, you are not diminishing either sex; you are recognizing the inner economy of your perception. In practice, the one I AM is the sole cause; as you align with that, relationships, family, and circumstance rearrange to reflect the unity of your inner state. The verse becomes a spiritual instrument showing how order arises from consciousness, not from external rules.
