Garments of Readiness Within

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse offers a parable of consciousness: the people refuse to cast off their garments, not for mere habit, but to signify a state of constant vigilance and purpose. In Neville terms, the clothing represents your habitual state of awareness—the thoughts, duties, and habits you wear into every moment. The I AM, your true awareness, remains ever awake; by not removing the coverings, you affirm that you are always prepared to act in alignment with your higher task. The washing stands for inner renewal—you cleanse fear and distraction in imagination, not by external change. When you dwell in this posture, your outer world begins to reflect the inner discipline: obedience to your inner call, integrity in action, and a faithful, unwavering readiness to build rather than break. If you slip into fear, revise the scene: I am clothed in readiness; I AM always vigilant; my inner guards and faculties work in harmony to sustain this state. Imagination creates the reality of a life lived under divine, continuous preparedness.
