Westward Boards of the Soul

Read Exodus 36 in context

Scripture Focus

27And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
Exodus 36:27-30

Biblical Context

Exodus 36:27-30 describes the tabernacle’s westward framework: eight boards joined at corners, secured with rings, and set on silver sockets.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your inner garden, the eight boards stand in the westward light of awareness, the two corner boards for each side binding the whole structure. In this vision, the rings speak of a steady, living adhesion—an act of consciousness where the mind gathers its faculties into one ring: I AM that I AM. The sockets of silver are purification and readiness; they anchor the boards to a silver bed of faith and truth, so no breeze of doubt can tilt the temple you are becoming. Therefore, the presence of God is not outside but within—your consistent alignment of perception to the one idea that you are always the perceiver and the world is but a reflection thereof. The assembly across the corners teaches covenant loyalty: your commitment to a holy order of inner life, where thoughts, feelings, and choices are fitted to the divine pattern. When you revise misalignment and hold steadfast in the assumption that this inner tabernacle already stands, the outer events rearrange to reflect your inner architecture. The physical details become symbols for the spiritual practice of conscious construction.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine placing six boards on the west of your inner tabernacle and two corner boards, each socket snug with silver light. Feel the ring of unity around them and declare softly, I AM here now; revise any doubt until it feels true.
