Garment of Christ Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Interpret the verse as a call to govern your inner weather by the Christ state you already are. Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ is not a historical garment to borrow but a psychological attire you choose to wear by assumption. When you close your eyes and affirm I am the Christ within, you step into a state of consciousness that orders every impulse from a higher center. The flesh and its lusts are not enemies but signals from a worn self image clinging to separation. To make not provision for the flesh is to refuse to entertain those thoughts as reality, starving their power by attention and by the feeling that I AM rules the stage. In this fashion you discipline the imaginative faculty: you imagine the self as Christ shaped, see it as the clothing that defines how you act, feel, and respond, and let that felt sense displace former cravings. Thus your life reorganizes from the inside out, according to the one present and unchanging truth: you are the Lord Jesus Christ within.
