Brass Pins of Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 38:20 presents brass pins binding the tabernacle and its court. In the inner theater of consciousness, these pins are the steadfast states I must hold in mind. Brass, to me, is not mere metal but the color of unyielding certainty—the disciplined conviction that anchors the dream in the waking imagination. The tabernacle is my inner temple where God resides as I AM awareness; the pins secure that temple against the gusts of fear, habit, and doubt. When I, the I AM, assume a state that aligns with wholeness, I insert a firm pin into the earth of my being—grounding, organizing, and protecting the space of sensation, memory, and intention. The court around it represents the outward life fashioned by inner decree. By maintaining brass fidelity to a single elevated assumption, I hold the entire scene together, so appearances do not erode it. The pin is a vow; the tabernacle is my true occupancy. This is how the Bible’s brass becomes a living method: a concrete structure of inner trust that makes the outer world obedient to my inner vision.
