The Inner Wedding Garment

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as a reflection of your own inner life. The king is your I AM—presence that sees what you have clothed yourself with. The guests are the thoughts, feelings, and calls that arise when you entertain new possibilities. The man without the wedding garment reveals a mind that has been invited into the feast by name alone, without the inner preparation of alignment and purity. The garment stands for your inner state—the integrity, love, and truthful imagination you wear as you enter your kingdom. When the king asks, 'Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?' the silence you feel is your cue: you have not yet matched your consciousness to the invitation. The consequence—the outer darkness—shows what happens when inner unpreparedness masquerades as a privilege. Remember the core: many are called, but few are chosen. You are chosen to the measure you clothe yourself with in imagination. So revise: assume you are already wearing that garment; feel it; inhabit the state that makes the feast your present reality.
