Standing Boards of the Inner Tabernacle
Exodus 36:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes erecting the tabernacle’s framework from boards of wood. It points to inner readiness and a conscious posture that invites the Presence to dwell.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, Exodus 36:20 speaks not of carpentry but of the structure your consciousness raises. The boards are your states of awareness—upright, orderly, ready to receive the divine Presence. The tabernacle is the interior temple where God, the I AM, dwells when you affirm that you are the power that imagines your life into form. When these boards stand, you refuse collapse into doubt and you unite scattered thoughts into a single, living room of Being. The shittim wood points to a humble, resistant material—steadfast under inner choice rather than outer circumstance—so that the Presence can reside in a sanctified space. The act is a vow of Covenant Loyalty: you honor your own I AM by sustaining the mental architecture that outer appearances cannot overturn. Stand tall in your imagination, and you live as if the Presence is already with you, and the world must align to your inner posture. The verse invites you to erect the sanctuary within and rest in the certainty that God is within you now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and envision the boards standing upright inside your mind's tabernacle. Assume the feeling that the Presence is already dwelling there, and let any doubt revise itself into reverent certainty.
