Neville Goddard on Exodus 38:18-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 38 in context

Scripture Focus

18And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.

19And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.

Exodus 38:18-19

Biblical Context

The gate of the court is described as a colored hanging with four supporting pillars, matching the court’s hangings and signaling boundary and order.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the gate of the court in Exodus 38:18-19 is a symbol of your own inner threshold. You are the one who places the hanging—the blue of heaven, the purple of royalty, the scarlet of sacrifice, and the pure linen of truth—across the entry to your attention. The four pillars, set in brass sockets and crowned with silver, represent four stable states of consciousness that hold your experience upright: perception, memory, imagination, and will. The silver hooks and caps remind you that all connection to light comes through your I AM awareness, your present tense I-ness. When you regard this gate as a creation of your own mind, you see that holiness and separation are not judgments from without, but choices within: what you allow in, what you exclude, and how you align your energy with your covenant to be conscious of God within. The scene teaches you that the sacred space you inhabit is governed by your own fidelity to your true nature: I AM, I choose, I dwell, I act.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume the stance 'I am the gate of my consciousness.' Visualize the hanging with its blue, purple, scarlet, and linen; feel the four pillars supporting your awareness, and stay with that scene until it feels real.
