Inner Silence, Divine Guidance

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this passage, the 'silence' is not a denigration of women but a symbol of the feminine principle in consciousness, asked to settle so the I AM can be heard. The 'church' is the temple of your mind, and 'speaking' outwardly is the mind’s wandering chatter that disrupts order. To be 'under obedience, as also saith the law' is to yield to the inner law—the unchanging pattern of truth dwelling in you as I AM. When a question arises, the directive to 'ask at home' becomes a call to turn inward, to your inner husband—the higher Self or divine authority within—where true answers reside. The outer worship forms are not the source of power; true worship is quiet alignment with the One Mind, imagining from that stillness the reality you seek. In this light, obedience is not bondage but a harmonizing of your thinking with the law of your own being, so that your life conforms to the truth you already are.
