Garments Of Inner Service

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, the cloths of service are not mere fabrics but the inner dress of readiness. Aaron's holy garments symbolize the state of consciousness required to perform the sacred office; to minister is to align your being with a function higher than personal will. In Neville's terms, God is the I AM within you, and the priestly office is the ongoing act of choice by which you attend to that God-state. The garments you seek are the habits of thought, feeling, and discipline you assume in your imagination until they become your natural stance. If you feel busy or unworthy, you wear garments of limitation; if you imagine yourself as chosen and anointed to serve, you don the robes of authority and purity. The outer details echo your inner alignment: you prepare, consecrate, and then act from the conviction that you are already in the office you seek. The world you minister to is your inner temple, and every service you render rests on the certainty that you, not another, are God's instrument.
