Neville Goddard on Exodus 29:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 29 in context

Scripture Focus

5And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:

6And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

Exodus 29:5-6

Biblical Context

Exodus 29:5-6 commands Aaron to wear sacred garments—the coat, robe, ephod, breastplate, girdle, mitre, and holy crown—marking holiness and dedicated service. These outward coverings symbolize an inner consecration and the presence of God within.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's sense, these garments are not merely fabric but the states of your consciousness. The coat and robe symbolize the quality of your inner atmosphere; the ephod and breastplate represent a mind guarded by right vision and aligned with the I AM. The girdle binds these states, a conscious discipline, while the mitre and holy crown declare thoughts crowned by holy purpose. God is the I AM within you, and these garments are the symbolic attire of your state of consciousness. When you imagine Aaron adorned thus, you are rehearsing the truth that you are already holy, separated from lower currents, and continually in the divine presence. The external rite mirrors an inner revision: you choose now to clothe your awareness with holiness, order, and reverent worship, allowing the inner self to rise into alignment with the divine idea you hold. Through imagining this attire, you restructure your inner atmosphere to attract reality corresponding to it.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, imagine yourself adorned in Aaron’s sacred garments, and feel the I AM at the center of your chest as thoughts align with holiness. Then affirm softly: I am clothed in consciousness; I am present; I am holy.
