Inner Breastplate of Judgment
Exodus 28:15-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It describes making a breastplate with twelve stones bearing the tribes' names, symbolizing inner judgment and covenant loyalty. In Neville's language, this is an image of your consciousness ordered and named.
Neville's Inner Vision
See the breastplate as the inner structure of your own consciousness, not a garment for a priest. The stones signify aspects of you—colors representing the qualities you consent to inhabit. Gold is the currency of worth; blue, purple, scarlet, and linen weave the harmony of spirit, thought, desire, and discipline. The four rows form a deliberate pattern you impose upon awareness, so judgment becomes discernment that clears, not condemns. The names on the stones are the twelve states of your being—the tribes of your life—engraved in a signet of I AM. When you set them in gold and seal them, you covenant with your inner self to honor, purify, and separate what would harm your peace. God’s presence is the awareness that witnesses and sustains this order. Your inner jury is neither harsh nor blind; it is a compassionate, exacting guide that promotes loyalty to your true I AM. Practice: assume you are already wearing this ordered breastplate, feel its weight, and revise any false sense of lack until your life echoes the divine arrangement.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and imagine the breastplate resting on your chest, each stone bearing a chosen state of consciousness. Affirm, 'I am the I AM,' feel its reality, revise any lack, and move through your day under divine presence.
