Inner Headship and Christ Consciousness

Ephesians 5:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ephesians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Ephesians 5:23

Biblical Context

Ephesians 5:23 links the husband as head over the wife to Christ as head of the church, the Savior of the body, signaling an inner order of consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice, the verse is an inner law: the head is the directing center of your life. The 'husband' represents the active I AM that orders the 'wife'—the receptive feelings and ideas—while the church is the body animated by Christ-consciousness. This is not about outward power but an inner arrangement where the highest awareness sits at the head, guiding all thoughts, motives, and sensations. When you acknowledge Christ as the head of your body, you acknowledge that your world is governed by a single, intimate awareness. The Savior is your realized state—self-salvation through the awakening of your awareness—so the body becomes harmonious with that divine order. From this standpoint, obedience and faithfulness become the consistent practice of keeping attention on the head, your ongoing sense of I AM, so that your life, relationships, and actions move as one in accordance with wholeness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, place the sense of head above your consciousness as I AM; then affirm, 'I am the head of my life; Christ-consciousness directs every thought, feeling, and relationship,' and feel the body aligning with that awareness.
