Exodus 40:32

Biblical Context

This verse records washing before approaching the tent of meeting and the altar, signaling purification as a prerequisite for approaching the sacred.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner space, the 'tent of meeting' is your sanctuary and the 'altar' your highest aim. Washing is not water alone but a cleansing of belief—releasing fear, guilt, and attachment to self-image—so you may stand free in pure consciousness. The inner law—'as the Lord commanded Moses'—becomes the discipline you follow in spirit: align with the I AM and assume you are already in right relation to truth. When you revise lack into sufficiency and feel it real, the temple within is opened and the divine may enter as your lived experience. Enter not with effort but with the awareness that you are the I AM already; the outer pattern simply reflects your inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe slowly, and imagine a cleansing wash over your thoughts until your mind shines. Then state, silently or aloud, 'I am pure consciousness,' and proceed to the inner sanctuary from that felt state.
