Garments of the Inner Priest

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as an inward instruction, not a wardrobe detail. The coats, girdles, and bonnets are symbols of your states of consciousness you wear to perform your sacred work. In Neville’s spirit, the priest’s office is not a distant ritual but a calm, awake state in which you act—obedient, pure, devoted—because you have assumed that you are already consecrated to your function. The command to gird with a belt, to array Aaron and his sons, is a call to order the energies of your day: girders of discipline, bonnets of humility, robes of integrity. The 'perpetual statute' speaks of a continuous identity you can return to in each moment, a consistent posture of service to others from the I AM within. When you imagine yourself clothed in this way, you are not performing an external costume but reviving the inner architecture by which you perceive and act. Your thoughts, feelings, and choices become the material of priestly work, aligning outward life with inward consecration. The inner ceremony precedes and shapes the outer vocation.
