Exodus 39:15-18

Biblical Context

The passage describes the breastplate’s gold chains, rings, and wreathen links, and how they are affixed to the ephod and shoulderpieces.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville’s ear, Exodus 39:15-18 speaks not of metal, but of a state of consciousness wearing itself as gold. The breastplate is your inner state—radiant, fixed in the heart. The wreathen chains and rings symbolize the steady linking of your thoughts to what you honor as sacred; they bind your daily acts to the perfect idea you hold of yourself. The two ouches and the shoulderpieces mark how this inner conviction is carried into action: you bear its truth at the shoulders where you meet the world. When you imagine these links as already present and complete, you are no longer waiting for approval elsewhere; you align with the divine I AM that you are. The Presence of God, your ever-ready awareness, becomes felt reality when you release doubt and permit a sense of completion to fill your being. This is true worship: to know the gold you wear is the value of your attention, and the chain you forge in imagination is the path by which your unity returns to your life.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already wearing the inner breastplate; feel its weight as a sign that you are held by the I AM. Revise any lack by affirming, 'I am whole, I am present, I am now,' and dwell in that felt reality for a minute.
