Inner Wash at the Tabernacle Door
Exodus 40:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 40 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Aaron and his sons are washed at the doorway to the tabernacle, a ceremonial cleansing before approaching sacred space.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's voice: You are not washing bodies, but cleansing the self—your states of consciousness. The command to wash Aaron and his sons becomes a symbol for bringing attention to purity of motive, surrendering to the I AM that is aware. The water represents the living, discriminating awareness that purges fear, pride, and division, preparing the heart to enter the divine arena of Presence. By imagining the act as an inner routine, you align your inner atmosphere with holiness and true worship. When you repeatedly perform this imaginative washing, you reinforce the inner boundary that keeps the mind clear of grasping, and you announce, I AM purifier and I AM Presence here and now. The outer rite mirrors the inward discipline: to enter any sacred space you must have a clarified consciousness, a state of integrity, ready to serve from Love rather than ego.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and breathe. Then imagine a clear stream washing over your thoughts and motives at the door of your inner tabernacle; declare, I AM clean, and feel the Presence entering.
