Exodus 36:37-38

Biblical Context

Exodus 36:37-38 describes a door-hanging for the tabernacle, adorned with colored cloth and five gilded pillars on brass sockets.

Neville's Inner Vision

What you call the tabernacle is your own psyche; the door-hanging marks the boundary through which your awareness enters the sacred space called I AM. The colors are not mere fabrics but states you imagine around your attention—blue for vast faith, purple for majesty of imagination, scarlet for life’s vitality, and linen for disciplined discernment. The five pillars represent the stable supports of your consciousness: attention, faith, desire, imagination, and gratitude. The gold on their capitals signals the radiant realization you insist upon in your thinking, while the brass sockets ground the structure in practical truth. When you consciously assume that God dwells within, you dwell in a Presence that has always been, and worship becomes a daily discipline of your consciousness rather than an external ritual.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and step before your inner door. See the blue, purple, scarlet hanging and the five gold-edged pillars standing on brass sockets, and declare, 'I AM within; God is my presence' as you dwell there for a moment.
