Laver of Inner Purity
Exodus 40:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 40 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 40:7 places the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, with water inside, signaling cleansing before approaching God.
Neville's Inner Vision
See the laver as the mirror of your own consciousness, set between the tent of awareness and the altar of action. The water represents the living conviction by which you see yourself and your world in alignment with love. Purification is not an external ritual but a shift of inner state, moving from fear, guilt, or habit to a holiness that rests in I AM presence. When you stand before this laver, you are washing not appearances but your mind’s belief about yourself. You practice revision by assuming, in the first person, that you are already clean in God-consciousness, and you listen for the inner revelation that follows. The boundary between contemplation and conduct is safeguarded here: the cleansing water prepares you to act from the Presence rather than from the old story. Feel it-real by repeating: I am pure now, I am seen by God, I am aligned with divine order. In that moment, your tent and your altar are harmonized under the one I AM, and holiness becomes your ordinary state.
Practice This Now
Assume, for a moment, you stand before the inner laver in your mind and revise any sense of imperfection by declaring: I am pure in God-consciousness; then feel the water renewing your awareness.
