Read Exodus 29 in context

Scripture Focus

5And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:

6And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

7Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.

Exodus 29:5-7

Biblical Context

Aaron is dressed with priestly garments and then anointing oil is poured on his head, marking consecration for holy service. The passage emphasizes readiness for sacred duty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the garments as your inner states rather than fabric. In Neville's language, Exodus presents the moment you decide the I AM will clothe your life with disciplined awareness. The coat, robe, ephod, breastplate, and girdle symbolize orderly thoughts, devoted feelings, and the crown of awakened consciousness that serves, not vanity, but true worship. The anointing oil poured on Aaron's head becomes the felt reality of God’s presence entering the head—the seat of decision and will—so that every choice flows from covenant loyalty rather than fear. When you imagine yourself dressed in such symbolic attire, you are not dressing a body but aligning your being with a divine pattern already present in you. The 'holy crown' on the mitre represents the crowned mind, the capacity to rule without self-will, and to act in harmony with the whole. The result is a life where holiness is not distant doctrine but the demonstrated manner of living, where the presence of God roots you in obedience to the covenant. Your environment shifts as you dwell in that inner reality, and what you perceive reflects it.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and imagine yourself being clothed with Aaron's priestly garments, and declare, 'I AM clothed in the priesthood of my God-consciousness.' Feel the anointing oil pouring over your head, signifying the felt reality of Presence asserting covenant loyalty.
