Inner Bars of Consciousness
Exodus 26:26-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 26:26-28 describes five bars across the sides of the tabernacle and a middle bar spanning the length. This structure creates a stable, unified sanctuary in symbolic form.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's psychological reading, the tabernacle is your inner state, and the bars are the habitual supports you set to keep that state upright. The five bars on each side are the reinforcing practices of attention, belief, feeling, image, and action that lock your thoughts into a stable structure; the middle bar, running from end to end, is the I AM at the center of consciousness that unites every part. When you fix the center, the outer boards hold together even as you move, and the Presence of God becomes tangible, not as something outside, but as your own awareness animating the sanctuary. Covenant loyalty is your decision to maintain this inner order despite appearances; holiness arises as you separate the longing from lack and choose to imagine the desired reality as already true. This image invites you to live from the end, to assume your completed state, and to honor the unity of mind that makes worship sincere. The temple stands because you persist in the feeling that you are, now, the dwelling place of God.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already the tabernacle: feel the five bars across each side and the center bar running through you, held upright by the I AM. Rest in that inner unity and let the Presence of God rise in your awareness.
