What does Leviticus 8:9 mean?

The golden plate set upon the forehead is the awakened center at the brow, and the holy crown is the fifth stage of consciousness resting on the anatomical crown of the head. Moses is a picture of the mind under order, and the higher awareness places light on the forefront where inner seeing opens, so the whole head is wrapped and crowned in gold.

The golden plate set upon the forehead is the awakened center at the brow, and the holy crown is the fifth stage of consciousness resting on the anatomical crown of the head. Moses is a picture of the mind under order, and the higher awareness places light on the forefront where inner seeing opens, so the whole head is wrapped and crowned in gold. The consecration is not a costume for a priest but the arrangement of the head itself as the seat of the divine.

What happens in a person is the lighting of the brow and the settling of a higher state upon the top of the skull, so the head becomes the place where spirit governs.

Mitre: the covering of the head, the whole skull prepared as a holy vessel Golden plate: the awakened center at the forehead where inner sight opens Holy crown: the fifth stage of consciousness resting on the crown of the head Moses: a description of the mind brought under order

  1. Before you open the laptop, sit up, put both feet down, and lift your head. Thirty seconds of a settled body changes what kind of day you walk into.
  2. At dinner tonight, put the phone in another room and keep your eyes at the table. Where you aim your head is where you actually are.
  3. When a meeting gets tight and you feel yourself shrinking into your shoulders, straighten and breathe once. Carry yourself like somebody who is not under threat.

What would change in my day if I carried my head like it was the most important thing I own?
