Inner Sanctuary of Offerings

Exodus 36:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 36 in context

Scripture Focus

3And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.
4And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
Exodus 36:3-4

Biblical Context

The passage describes the Israelites bringing offerings for the sanctuary and the wise workers coming to complete the work. In Neville's view, this reflects inner states being received and mobilized by the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, Exodus 36:3-4 is not about material craft alone, but about the inner economy of consciousness. The offerings are not coins but thoughts, desires, and gratitude that your I AM willingly receives into the temple of awareness. When it says they brought free offerings every morning, it is a reminder that daily, you choose to invest attention and imaginative substance into your sanctuary. Moses stands for the I AM who gathers these contributions into a coherent pattern of life; the sanctuary becomes a picture of your perfected state, already present in consciousness. The wise men, who came from their own hands to the work, symbolize the faculties of wisdom, planning, and creation aligning with the inner vision—not leaving life, but consenting to participate in the inner construction. Holiness and separation appear as the discipline of attention: you set apart your ordinary thoughts to the sacred purpose of building. In Neville's practice, the temple exists first as a state of awareness, shown outwardly as experience when you hold the belief. So assume that the sanctuary is complete within you, and let your daily offerings and the gathered faculties manifest as form.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and state, 'I AM the I AM within; I now claim this sanctuary is built in me.' Feel the inner temple brighten as daily offerings arrive and the wise faculties move to complete the work.
