Inner Ornament Removal

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, the 'ornaments' are not merely jewelry but states of consciousness—the identities, fears, and pretenses you have worn to gain approval. The Lord taking them away is a deep inner clearing, a shift from identifying with external forms to recognizing that you are the I AM, awareness itself. The world of appearances is a dream you gave life to by attention; when you cease feeding it with belief, those signs crumble. In Neville's terms, when you assume the state of I AM and revise what you value, you feel the shift as if the ornaments drop away. You reverse the appearance by turning inward, imaging a new center of order at the core of your being. Let the removal be a welcome shedding, not a punishment, so that your true nature—unlimited consciousness—shines through the body, circumstances, and relationships. Practice is the surety; the moment you dwell as the I AM, you awaken the inner kingdom and the outer signs respond accordingly.
