Neville's Inner Vision

Read through Neville Goddard's lens, the breastplate is not metal but your inner garment of awareness. Gold stands for divine substance, blue for truth, purple for royal authority, scarlet for life-force, and fine linen for purity. The foursquare shape and its doubling point to a fixed, doubled state of consciousness—an I AM protected by radiant inner light. The 'cunning work' mirrors the skill of your imagining; this is inner craftsmanship, not ritual distance. When you dwell in this image, you align with the presence of God within—the I AM governing all action. Holiness and covenant loyalty become not external duties but living conditions of your mind. Your true worship is found in the steady, conscious belief that the divine order governs your thoughts, feelings, and choices in this moment. The breastplate thus stands as a visible sign of an inward reality, a reliable boundary where you are fully attended by the sacred I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and envision wearing the breastplate; acknowledge I AM presence surrounding your heart, and feel the doubled, unwavering sense of divine protection. Then affirm, 'I AM that I AM' now, letting this image revise any sense of lack into fullness.
