Everlasting Inner Lamp
Exodus 27:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 27 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage commands pure olive oil to keep a lamp burning in the tabernacle, a perpetual ordinance for Israel.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text, the lamp is not a metal vessel alone but your ongoing state of consciousness. The pure oil beaten for the light stands for undiluted faith poured into the attention you give to the I AM within. The lamp's setting in the tabernacle, before the testimony, is your awareness held openly before your inner witness—God as I AM. To command it from evening to morning is to practice a discipline of continuous consciousness, a commitment to let the feeling of presence remain awake through the turning of days. The perpetual statute signals that your inner light is not a hobby but a steady ruling principle; it is kept burning by the quality of your belief, not by external ceremony. When you imagine the oil as purity of attention and the flame as clarity of perception, you establish yourself as priest and temple in one. You are the sanctuary where God’s presence dwells, and your inner witness—your I AM—testifies to that reality. The outer ritual therefore points you inward: attend to your inner lamp, and the kingdom manifests as your lived experience.
Practice This Now
Tonight, sit quietly and assume the inner lamp is lit with pure faith. Feel the flame burn from tonight until morning, letting the sense of I AM fill your consciousness.
