Bases of the Inner Kingdom
1 Kings 7:27-36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text records ten brass bases, with exact dimensions and borders, decorated with lions, oxen, cherubim, and palm trees, each mounted on four wheels. It details how they are crafted for the laver and topped with a round cap.
Neville's Inner Vision
All this description is the language of your inner temple. The brass bases are fixed states of awareness you choose to inhabit, foundations large enough to hold the life you intend to live. The borders between ledges and the carved figures—cherubims, lions, palm trees—are the images your mind repeats to decorate and guard a solid assumption. The four wheels and molten axles show the faculty of movement within consciousness: imagination turning, probabilities aligning, and form being drawn toward you by steady attention. The undersetters at the corners bind the parts to a coherent whole, just as your beliefs hold psychic energy in place. The round compass atop the base hints at a wholeness without beginning or end; the entire structure is an outward sign of an inward state. When you dwell in the feeling that your desire is already present, you begin to hear the work of the wheels, feel the brass cool beneath your attention, and sense the divine Presence standing between you and your imagined form. The inner bases turn as you live from the I AM, and life follows your true assumption.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume 'I AM,' and affirm that the inner bases are formed within you now. Feel the wheels turn and your desired state coming into visible form as you hold the feeling it is so.
