Biblical Context
Exodus 37:23 describes seven golden lamps and their tools, signaling an inner, tended light within your consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this line you glimpse an inner lampstand—the seven lamps of consciousness burning in pure gold. The seven lamps are your seven faculties: sight, hearing, belief, desire, will, memory, and imagination, each kindling the light of awareness. The flame is the I AM you are, the present awareness that never fades. When you see yourself as the light here and now, the outer world shifts to reflect that interior brightness. The snuffers and snuffdishes teach discipline: trim fear and doubt from the wick, snuff only what dims the flame, and keep the vessels clean so the light can burn clearly. Gold purity invites you to a spiritual hygiene of honesty, integrity, and consistent worship—an inner reverence for the I AM rather than seeking God far away. As you maintain this inner light, ordinary events become expressions of your awakened state; you inhabit a sanctuary that is your own consciousness, and reality aligns with the glow you tend.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, I AM the light of my life; see seven golden lamps burning before me and feel your awareness steadily illumining each moment. Then revise any sense of lack by affirming, 'From this moment, my inner light is pure gold, and I tend it with ease.'
