Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard’s voice, we read the text as a portrait of inner consciousness: the vessels and instruments are the faculties and habits that compose your worship of life. The “by tale” counting is not a ledger of bronze and spice, but a disciplined awareness that watches thoughts, feelings, and intentions—keeping them in sacred order. To worship truly is to steward your inner sanctuary: you oversee the tools of nourishment, inspiration, and fragrance—flour, wine, oil, frankincense, spices—as you would sacred practices in your mind. Each vessel is a state of consciousness entrusted to your care, and every instrument obeys your attention. By seeing yourself as keeper, you align the outward world with the inward throne of I AM, making your daily life a continuous offering rather than a performance. When you attend to these inner instruments with reverence, you harmonize memory, desire, and action into a singular, holy movement.

Practice This Now

Practice: in a quiet moment, imagine you are the guardian of your inner sanctuary. Count each vessel of your consciousness, then revise one dominant thought into a trusted, life-affirming state and feel it real now.
