36And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.

Exodus 26:36-37

Biblical Context

The passage describes a doorway hanging and five pillars as a pattern for the tabernacle's entry. It symbolizes how inner dispositions gate the Presence of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Exodus 26:36-37 the door hanging and its five gold-crowned pillars are not mere carpentry but a pattern of your inner temple. The curtain marks the boundary between ordinary self-consciousness and the sanctuary where the I AM dwells. The colors blue, purple, scarlet, and linen speak as inner dispositions you must arrange: blue for the truth you know is higher than appearances, purple for the royal authority of your I AM, scarlet for the life-force that renews you, and linen for the righteousness you walk in. The five pillars hold your doorway steady, suggesting five recurring states of consciousness you choose to maintain—attention, belief, stillness, gratitude, and covenant loyalty. The gold overlay reveals the preciousness of this setup; brass sockets ground the structure in stable awareness, so the doorway cannot waver when the mind is tempted to doubt. By tending this doorway with imagination, you invite the Presence to be your immediate reality, not a future event; you are already there when you assume that you are.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a door hanging before your inner sanctuary, colored blue, purple, scarlet, and linen; plant five gold pillars with gold hooks and brass sockets as your committed states. Then, silently declare 'I AM here now' and step through, feeling the Presence as your present reality.
