Scarlet Shield of Provision

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this brief passage we glimpse a state of consciousness not moved by winter's threat, for the I AM clothes the house with warmth and worth. Snow outside becomes a catalyst revealing the inner wealth that attends the awakened mind. The household represents the total faculties - memory, imagination, affection, will - arrayed in scarlet, silk, and purple, symbols of nobility, realized abundance, and inherited dignity. Making coverings of tapestry is weaving inner narratives that guard and adorn life. When the awareness of I AM operates, clothing becomes experience—provision, security, beauty—so the outer world reflects the inward state. The woman who does this embodies disciplined imagination; she trusts that her state of consciousness governs conditions and uses craft to honor the inner reality she already possesses. Therefore, the key is to realize that your imagination is the tailor of your life.
