Inner Garment of Modesty

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that linen breeches are not cloth but states of consciousness you innerly wear. The command to cover nakedness from the loins to the thighs points to the inner boundary your I AM places around vitality and vulnerability. In Neville's method, God is the I AM within; therefore the breeches symbolize a constant assumption of modesty and integrity that protects your inner life from the 'flesh' of fear, shame, or overexposure. When you imagine yourself already clothed in such linen, you are not changing a garment; you are shifting your self-concept. The outer world responds to the inner garment you wear in imagination: modesty becomes discipline, separation becomes a clear sense of boundaries, and purity becomes a lived state of awareness rather than a rule followed. Now, you awaken to the fact that the loins and thighs represent all energy and life force; clothing them with holiness is a decision to steward life with dignity. The miracle is not in the fabric, but in your recognition that you are always already clothed in your I AM, and your feeling makes it real.
