Exodus 36:8

Biblical Context

The verse describes wise-hearted workers weaving ten curtains of fine linen dyed with blue, purple, and scarlet, adorned with cherubim.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the text the curtains are not mere fabric but the fabric of your inner life. The 'wise-hearted' are those who have disciplined their imagination to serve a precise purpose: to house a sanctuary within. Ten curtains symbolize ten states of consciousness you weave into daily experience—purity (linen), faith (blue), spiritual authority (purple), and life-filled action (scarlet). The cherubim, cunningly wrought, are inner guardians who attend to the image you hold of God—the I AM you are. When you attend to this inner workshop, you separate the holy from the ordinary, drawing a boundary between outward doing and inward worship. The tabernacle you construct is not a temple in space but a condition of awareness in the present. As you imagine, you align with the Source, and the work of your hands becomes the record of your worship. The presence of God comes not from changing outer circumstances but from the alignment of your inner faculties with the truth that you are the thinker and the world your dream.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the wise-hearted craftsman weaving ten inner curtains. Feel each color as a distinct state of consciousness, and invite the cherubim to guard the sanctuary where God dwells.
