Inner Attire, Divine Dignity Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is the theater of consciousness, and every symbol on the body is a figure of the inner state you are entertaining. The rings, nose jewels, and fine garments named by Isaiah are not sins against beauty; they are indicators of attachment, pride, and fear of loss. When you perceive them as mere ornament, you miss the truth that the I AM is the only adornment that never tarnishes. In Neville’s terms, your true dress is the quality of your awareness: innocence, humility, and purity. The dying away of these outer signs is not punishment but a signal that you may turn your gaze inward and claim your rightful attire—the dignified Imago Dei within. As you imagine yourself as that inner sovereign, the outer signs become optional props rather than rulers. The vision of purity will align the ego with the eternal self; you begin to experience the world as a reflection of your inner state, not as a storehouse of ornaments. Therefore, the place and the things you chase lose their power; your dignity rests in the I AM here and now, and humility arises as effortless attire.
