Girdle of Inner Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner state fashions the garment your life wears. The girdle upon the ephod, woven in gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and linen, is not mere ornament but the visible coherence of a disciplined imagination. As the LORD commanded Moses, so the inner command comes from the I AM within you. When you dwell in awareness—the gold—let faith sustain you; recognize your royalty with the purple, your vitality with the scarlet, and bind them with the pure thread of linen. The girdle's pattern shows inner work preceding outer order; obedience to the inner command determines the harmony of your world. In Neville's terms, the work is the feeling of the wish fulfilled—the inner sense that you are already complete, guided, and witnessed by your own I AM. The colors are not decorative; they symbolize conscious states unified in service to the divine image you are becoming. Remain faithful to the inner directive—the inner voice that says 'you are that I AM now'—not as external law, but as your sacred, intimate pattern of life.
