Inner Gold Overlay of Self
Exodus 36:34 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes gilding the temple's wooden parts and fittings, signaling a sacred upgrade of what supports the dwelling.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of these boards and bars as the imagined framework of your inner life. The gold overlay is not merely outer shine but a deliberate conversion of your mental materials into a holy substance. When you overlay the boards with gold in imagination, you are affirming that every experience and belief that forms your inner walls can be filled with divine radiance. The rings made of gold that hold the bars become the contact points in consciousness where the new order attaches to old habit patterns. The bars themselves, now gilded, are the supports of your shrine—the ideas about yourself, your feelings, and your purposes. By saturating the structure with gold, you practice holiness and separation from the unrenewed self. The Presence of God, your I AM awareness, dwells in the innermost chamber as you stand in this gilded frame; covenant loyalty means you refuse to let the old illusions govern the pattern any longer. Your work here is to assume the state of perfection now and let the inner temple reflect that reality.
Practice This Now
Assume the state I AM now. Visualize the inner boards gilded, the rings securing the bars, and the bars themselves glowing with divine gold, and feel the Presence already dwelling there.
