Traditionally, when a man or woman became a king or a queen, one needed to have a halo that others could recognize in order to call them by their title. So they had a crown made that glowed and shone. When they wore the crown on their head, it said, "Look at me, see how I shine." However, as children of God, we are all empowered light bearers. When we touch the Infinite, there is no need to wear the crown. We already radiate the light of God.
