Exodus 36:4 - Inner Temple Alignment
Exodus 36:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The wise men who did the sanctuary work stop their individual crafts and come together to form the whole. They unite their efforts toward a single sacred purpose.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard sense, Exodus 36:4 speaks to the inner temple you carry within. The 'wise men' are your faculties—imagination, discernment, purpose—each engaged in crafting the sanctuary of your life. When the verse says they came from the work they made, it signals a shift of attention: from outward production to inward alignment. The sanctuary is not a building but your state of awareness, the place where God dwells as I AM. To apply it, recognize that any division in your inner life—plans, desires, fears—can be reconciled by gathering them in one point of consciousness. The moment you acknowledge that you are the builder and the temple, all separate pieces return to one temple, moving from agitation to stillness, from striving to presence. The evidence rises as you assume the feeling that the sanctuary you designed is now assembled within you, that all parts are in harmony under the same I AM. Remember: imagination creates; the state you inhabit internally becomes your outer experience.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, in the stillness, imagine the wise builders laying aside their separate crafts and stepping into a single inner temple. Feel the unity and the presence of I AM as the sanctuary is completed within you.
