The Inner Altar Blueprint
Exodus 27:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 27 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 27:1 commands an altar of shittim wood with precise dimensions: five cubits long, five cubits wide, a foursquare form, and a height of three cubits. It describes a physical altar, signaling the inner center you must attend to in worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville's ear, these measurements describe a state of consciousness you may enter and maintain. The altar of shittim wood marks the place where your attention is laid upon the one Power within, the I AM that you are. The five-by-five length and breadth, with a foursquare form, describe a stable, balanced mind where the senses are kept under one purpose. The height of three cubits suggests a consciousness that rises in completeness—body, mind, and spirit harmonized under a single, governing awareness. When you imagine you are the one who offers, you practice true worship: obedience to the state you choose, faithfulness to the I AM, and separation from distractions that keep you external to your essence. The altar is not a thing outside you; it is your own inner attention anchored in God. Maintain this center, and outer events align with the inner state as you dwell in the square of awareness. Begin now by assuming the I AM state and feel the inner altar solidify within you.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM state now. Feel the inner, square altar solidify in your chest and act from that center in every moment.
