Inner Robe Of Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

In the mystic sense, the robe is your inner garment - your state of consciousness that clothes every event you encounter. The robe woven of blue is the color of divine awareness, the I AM streaming through every moment. The hole in the midst suggests vulnerability, a doorway into the world of sense, but the band around it guards the seal so your life does not rend under pressure. The hems are adorned with pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and linen - symbolizing the fruitful fruits of inner life and the rich interweaving of thought, desire, and action. Between the pomegranates are bells of gold, the audible sign of your inner movement - each bell a quiet affirmation that you are being heard by your own inner law. The circuit runs round about the hem to minister in; the robe exists not for show but to clothe your service. You stand before the Lord not as a separate figure but as the I AM in form, and the outer world answers from the condition of your inner worship. The temple is within, and your life follows your state.
