What Does Glory Mean in the Bible Read through 2 lenses

What love bestows is worn lightly and openly, a grace that rests on the mind because it has chosen to see without accusation. The crown is not a prize for having conquered but the visible peace of a mind no longer at war with itself, its old burden of guilt lifted and nothing left to defend. This adornment costs the body nothing and changes only the way the mind looks upon the world.

What is delivered is simply the calm radiance of one who has let love do the seeing, a dignity that was always waiting to be claimed.

• Ornament of grace: the gentle peace that settles on a mind which has chosen love, the beauty of one no longer accusing
• Crown of glory: the quiet dignity of a mind at rest with itself, its guilt laid down and its worth restored

The glory passed from the source through the higher self down into the faculties is the shining energy of the divine current, handed along so that every scattered power within a person may be gathered into one. To be one as the source and the higher self are one is for the divided parts of consciousness, each pulling its own way, to fuse under a single light until there is no longer a crowd of competing drives but a unified being. The glory is the radiance that makes this joining possible, the light in which separate faculties lose their separateness. As a person awakens, the same shining that fills the higher self spreads through the whole inner assembly, and the many become one.

• The glory: the shining energy of the divine current, the radiance handed down that gathers the scattered powers into one.
