Inner Garment Revelation

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the accuser is a voice of yesterday’s self, and the Lord’s rebuke is the clarity that says your old story cannot define you. Joshua’s filthy garments are not punishment but a symbol of your mistaken identifications—guilt, fear, limitation—standing before the angel, your higher self. The angel’s directive, Take away the filthy garments, and Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, names the inner operation of your I AM: you can be stripped of the past and clothed anew. The change of raiment and the mitre upon the head signify a renewed state of consciousness and priestly function: you are to walk in new identity, with a mind that serves the Presence of God rather than the memory of sin. This drama confirms that the Presence of God is always near, auditing your self-conception and purging it, leaving you righteous in the sight of your own I AM. When you accept the new attire, you release the sense of separation and enter the continuity of divine life within.
